If your car has sat that long...you need all new wheel cylinders. When you put on the new shoes, you had to puch the wheel cylinders back in, which causes them to leak.
Safety first I always say.
============================
: On my way to work today I noticed that the left rear brake was dragging. On my way home the brake petal went to the floor. After some pumping of the petal it came back up enough to stop the car for a couple of stops then it went back to the floor. I can't see any fluid leaking any where. The rear reservoir fluid looks rusty and the front reservior looks ok. both levels are full. I've put about 5oo miles on the car after being parked for 2 years. I also put new shoes on all 4 wheels(drums)about 200 miles ago. Any ideas? thanks Russ
