smoke Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 I usually use reinforced caution tape myself. Duct tape, two coat hangers and a lawn chair is what the book says and I always follow the book. 2 Quote Link to comment

smoke Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Yes, but "gave up the platypus" has a nicer ring to it. Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 What failed?? Just kinda curious. I borrowed an awesome electric motor hoist from my buddy, His brother built it as a prototype for a race team in the early 90's. It made quick work of it.

datzenmike Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 To 'give up the ghost' means to die. Usually after a prolonged and lengthy illness. In the case of an object, to cease working after a prolonged and troublesome failing period where it's almost a relief. To 'give up the goat' means to give away or sell your Pontiac. Specifically your GTO. 1 Quote Link to comment
510farmer Posted February 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 nothing failed! the engine ran good 150 across the board but it had a leak somewhere and it coated all the steering linkage and crossmember and such and the engine bay has lost some paint so i pulled it to clean up all the grease and road grim and to repaint the engine bay also to fix the seal's on the motor also change the timing chain and water pump paint the motor just freshen it up the car is to clean to have a junk looking motor and engine bay and grease pride! thx farmer 1 Quote Link to comment
