I would suggest some simple diagnostics now.
Disconnect the front brake lines from the master.Cut one of your old lines and attach a small rubber hose to it and screw it into the port and send it back into the master.Pump the peddle do you have flow? if yes reconect and then disconect it from the next fitting and check for flow.Just keep following the flow until you find where it is stopped.If your using regular brake fluid BE CAREFULL it will ruin anything it gets on that is painted
It could be a tiny piece of dirt/rust stuck in one of your lines.It could also be a hard line got pinched/kinked/twisted when youe replaced the soft lines.
Good luck and I share your frustrations.but start with the basics
I will suggest a tool to purchase,its a power bleeder.real affourdable and real easy to use.
I worked on alot of cars and one of the most frustraighting jobs I have ever done was to bleed the brakes on a vette.This tool makes easy work of it.I use silocone fluid in all of my cars now.and it real tough to bleed because it airates real fast,it seems the vacum bleeder airaites the fluid and thats why I went to a power bleeder. May seem like alot of money at first,but after you bleed the brakes on a vette in less then an hour and you dont have wasted fluid all over you and the car and the floor,and there perfect the first time around.Youll realize it cheap for what it does.
Good luck
