Ive been diving the car around a bit for the first time since completion, brakes work pretty good, but i can push the brake pedal right to the floor, and then the e-brake light comes on. I am guessing I still have air to bleed from the system? And the e-brake coming on is also a result of this? thanks for the advice!

It definitely sounds like there is still dinner air in the system. 1949 International KB-2 "Mater" - 302/T5 1968 Dodge Dart GTS "The Drat" - 340/727 2006 Dodge Magnum R/T - Hemi 2016 Dodge Durango Limited - 3.6

I would give them a good solid bleed in the right order and see what happens next. You could have a more serious problem, but that is where I would start.
