As building method, sectioning was very labor-intensive, really only useful for the lowest-volume, highest-priced models. Though more costly up front, modifying the tooling dies would have been the way to reasonably enable volume production.

How was the 5" added to the junior bodies behind the doors to get the 127" offerings. I've read articles where it was referred to as some new process of stretching or pulling the metal. Is that considered sectioning or did they actually so something with the dies or was it truly a new non stamping process.
