Ford
Ford has a sectioning procedure for the outer B-pillar. The procedures can be found at www.motorcraftservice.com
Per the I-CAR 2015 Ford F-150 Structural Repair Training (FOR06) course that was developed in cooperation with the vehicle maker: "When sectioning the outer side panel, Ford is allowing sectioning of the outer body panel based on the damage. Do not section within 50 mm of hinges, strikers, holes, or highly formed areas.”
