did you squish the hoses to get the air out of the system when you changed all that stuff. If not you could have air pocket thus preventing the coolant from flowing. Hince over heat after you changed everything.

Does the fan turn on? Check all of the wiring near where you did your repairs (sensors, plugs, connections, etc) If EVERYTHING appears to be normal, check 2 things---
1) Start the car, and stand in front of it. Have a friend turn on the A/C to MAX.
Listen; does the fan come on?
If not, chances are that you didn't reconnect the fan plug after you replaced the radiator, or there is a bad ground connection near that repair area.
If the fan does come on,
2) chances are pretty good that you MIGHT have installed the thermostat backwards.
The temperature sensing part has to go into the engine, not the thermostat housing. If the sensing bulb cannot get to the HOT water, then it can't open and allow coolant to flow.
If it was all working before you did your repairs, then these are the two most likely areas of failure.
Good Luck
