I will second Richard's advice, and add to it that why would you have nice clean drums, nice clean shoes, and then subject them to the excess heat trying to set them in. Bring the hub and drum in with your shoes and let them either shim the linings if they are going with rivets, or else install thicker lining material and grind it to match the radius.

As a mechanic, I use to spend a lot of time removing the glaze from brake shoes. Why would you want to restore a vehicle and start off with the problem before you even get it out of the shop?
