Xist, that information gets lost when using the template as the simple tool that it is. Kind of says to me that there needs to be a truncated template used exclusively for boattails. The template as first introduced was as I understand it meant to be used as a template for creating boattails on existing automobiles.
However as shown in the cross section study I did, adaption from square to round is not even a consideration. This could be an extreme oversight, or not a big deal, the more I think about it, the more I see need for a remedy.
My contention is that square does not fit round, it should not be a "hard-sell", it should sell it's self.
Proposal: Two new templates need to be developed in 3D (eighty or ninety percent length?)
