Thanks Dirka, I believe I might do that. I just don't see the likely chance of getting 2 bad thermostats though. I even took it back apart to ensure I put it in the right way and its child proof (only fits one way). While I have it back apart, I am going to make sure the waterpump is actually turning. I have been working on this car for about 6 months but I can't complain too much, it only cost me $350 and it looks pretty good.
