Re-arching brake shoes

I put new brake shoes on the Speedster and the brakes are HORRIBLE - worse than the old dried-out, glazed shoes I took off. ! I pulled up an old racing trick and put some chalk on the shoes and drove the car to see what the contact pattern was. On the left it's about 10% of the shoe surface and on the right it's about 40%. I obviously need to get the shoes fitted to the drums, but can't find anyone who does this anymore. Has anyone done any DYI brake shoe fitting?
