Ezeebleed on the MBC or vacuum pump on the bleed nipples.

I have a Bugeye that I have replaced all the front and rear rubber including
the master cylinder. New calipers on front and new  rear drums, springs,
cylinders,etc.,etc. New rubber in clutch slave. After bleeding using the
two-man method I still am not satisfied with the pedal feel. It still
depresses about half way down although the stopping power is pretty good. Is
it possible 

to get a really hard brake pedal in this car? Is there any sure-fire way to
bleed all the air out of the lines?
