okay saw this car with the fender beading removed
I like a lot ... might be how I solve the rusted bead issue

grown up 1974 MGB GT

went to see the car, dealer said the film studio took a good body spritz it with the purple plum color cut holes in it sandblasted the top purple spray and put mud on it to make it look aged

well an odd day to come
got my final door
prep'd the seams, sprayed 3m rust shield (yellow and waxy) cavity spray
went to remove the old doors .... all the philips head hinge screws were stripped!
had to drill them out then had a heartattack when I thought the door plates were welded in crooked - they were loose and floating just stuck with paint

getting a little warmer now

well she is moving slowly along still waiting for the drivers door to show
picked up a pnumatic hood kit from brit bits - I have my eye on a sweet ride there lets see if we can "make the deal work"
need to figure out how to take care of the rear fender bead .... thoughts
