What cannot be done is to follow the template in plan view (
unless you have a 3-wheeled car) in true full 3D. This is why the following quote is so important.

You may not be able to out think the template, but you cannot follow it either, unless you have a three wheeled or tapered plan car, or a blimp from which this shape was derived.
The template shape is for a "whole body" form, whereas most modifications we do to our existing cars can only be partial adaptations.
