[TR] beading tabs between the panels

[Geo & Kathleen Hahn]

Correct, they 'were not too concerned' that we might encounter rust when 
working on these cars 50 years later.

This of course was true of most auto mfgs in the 50s, 60s  & well beyond.

I don't think the small spaces crated by the beading tabs are a problem. 
The wings pretty much crush together so the tabs are not effective spacers. 
In any case most of our cars are not going to be driven in the worst of road 
conditions (salt & mud) and in any case will tend to be kept cleaner that 
most cars.
