Get your system pressure checked. Mite be more leaks. Is the water pump itself leaking?
Turn the car on with the radiator cap off (cold start). Let the thermostat cycle and keep filling with 50/50. Be sure to make sure the car is not over heating.
Check to make sure there is no coolant in your oil!
Yeah run it with the cap off. it will start to swell and puke coolant out of the radiator, let it puke and don't replace the cap. Watch for the fluid to start dropping dramatically, start filling. Usually it takes about two times of puking and filling to get the air out. Keep doing it untill she gets consistant and quits puking.
As always, be real careful around hot coolant. However, if you have a turkey-thermometer, you could put it in the radiator neck to note temps (put a rag, etc around the rad neck to help catch any burps). Getting a second temp reading can be helpful.
And once you're done, that thermometer stays in the garage - it won't be used in contact with consumables (a new thermometer is about a buck at wallymart in case you need to get a new one. Been there and done that.
Good luck.

If it didn't budge with that much heat I'd say your Tstat isn't opening. A free test. take off the tstat neck, pull out the tstat, and replace the neck without the tstat in it. If you run cool after that it's because your tstat didn't open. If the problem doesn't change, you're either not moving water because the pump is messed up somehow, or your heat exchanger can't exchange enough heat. (radiator)
I've seen radiators that are clogged completely with crap, hosing them from the backside forward can blow that stuff out if this is the case.
just some ideas.
