Clarification...the axle is not on the car (just rebuilt). No brake fluid yet or pressure on the shoes. New shoes..the axles rotate, but there's a high spot where they rub- mostly one side. Hard to describe..maybe I can post some pics tomorrow, but when you turn it, the drum isn't even all the way around when you see it against the back plate.
Ok...got some pics with my iPad- attached. When you rotate the drum you can see there is about a 1/16 difference from high point to low point. More obvious when you see it rotate. So, I was going to just give up and buy some new ones...but these don't come off. I've already done some reasonably hard tapping around it. The paint seems to have glued it on...but it's only been on there about a week.
