Well, everyone, I got some good news for you all! I managed to go ahead and get the original radiator repaired and back in the car. That's right! REPAIRED! She's got a clean bill of health now and I've even managed to determine the cause of it. As it turns out, the original inlet valve hose clogged up with a calcium-like material. This allowed pressure to build in the top tank, and combined with our characteristically hot weather here in Florida, it acted like a pressure cooker. There was no salvaging the original hose, so a rubber one had to be fitted instead, but I consider this to be no big loss. It could have easily been a lot worse.
This means that I can support my mom's small business on deliveries now. Imagine the looks on her customer's faces! It'll be just grand!
