Really Dave, this isn't personal that I keep re-directing your thoughts .....
Glazed brake pads & linings are the end result of brakes working correctly. While it might be possible to heat linings so much they might be fried, ain't happening on your common Model A Ford.
The glazing on the old brake shoes could be sanded off with 100 grit paper.... good only until you hit the brakes again.
You are going to have those 'new' shoes arched to the drums ??
The reason for arching is to have as much brake shoe contact with the drum. Yes, you could toss in new shoes but until they take a seat to the drum you'll have less than perfect stopping. Examine the original shoes to see the amount of contact (glazed surface) around the surface of the shoe.
