This looks pretty straight forward. Have you traced everything to be
sure it is all wired correctly. Yes, it's an annoying little question,
but oftentimes a wire is going to the wrong place.
Also, what about your grounding from the pots. Where is it going? And
the cap; where are you grounding that?
Got a picture to share of your wiring job that shows the details? That
would help.

What are the specs on the orginals? What value cap do you have?

Older strats and teles used 250Kohm pots and the 0.047uf caps (or
values there abouts on the cap). The higher the value on the cap, the
less high frequencies get through. The 250Kohm pots are pretty typical
for single coil pickups. The lower the value the more highs that get
through.
So you can balance your pots and caps to obtain the sound you're
looking for as far as frequency range.

The action of the tone control depends very much on the note you are
playing.
You cant expect to turn down the tone tone and still get high notes !
and vice versa.

You you can, and should. The guitar's tone control only affect the
note's higher overtones - it hardly affects the fundamental at all. If
you can't clearly hear every note on the instrument even with the tone
turned all the way down, something is very wrong.
I hear nothing when its turned all the way down the volume starts to
fade out at around 4(of 10)
I'm at a loss here without seeing the actual wiring configuration
you've done. I'm wondering if you may not have inadvertantly wired the
switch wrong and it is causing some cross 'contamination'.

The tone control on my Peavey turns down the volume of high notes.
You can barely hear the high notes with it turned right down.
But hang on, thats what a tone controls supposed to do !
