Hey folks, Ok, so last night I took the thermostat out. I disconnected the hoses to and from the radiator, opened the petcock and saw that there was what seemed excellent water flow. A garden hose at full power was stuck in the top hose, and there never was a point where it over flowed at the top... only the bottom and petcock.

In response to the car building pressure up in less than one minute: No. I drove the car for 20 minutes last night before the pressure started building up tot the point where it SLOWLY! started coming out of the expansion tank pressure hose.

I do see the water level rising slowly when the cap is off, and spilling out of the pressure relief hose, but not really any small bubbles.

Wow. I am really starting to dread anything past this point. Any suggestions? I'm going out right now to buy a new rad. cap.

THANKS A MILLION!

BTW, thanks for all the nice comments about the car. I will put up some interior shots as well. Shame that this car should have to act like this....
