My rear brakes on my 74 Midget are very squeaky and load. I have replaced the shoes, sanded down the shoes lightly with 120 grit paper. Any other ideas?

Turn Up the radio? Time to compare new shoes and old shoes. You may need to do a little grinding.

Not a common problem.
Maybe make sure the drums aren't glazed? (sand them down a bit too).
Unless you have some weird, super-hard shoe material?
Or look to see if the metal part of the shoe (or the springs + related hardware) are rubbing against the drum when you apply the brakes. You've assembled everything together correctly, right?
