Say what you want negatively about the template, but there have been many modifications built to follow it that have worked. I have done three myself, and got within 1% of the gains I had estimated. (5% half bedcover, 10% full bedcover, 5% kamm shell)
Could I have built something slightly better? Maybe... but what I did worked. So for my fourth big rear tapering modification, I am once again using it as my guide. If my fourth project doesn't deliver as I expect when I test it, I may alter my views but until then 3 for 3 isn't bad. I am always open to other suggestions for tapering patterns.
In fact, there are many examples of these sorts of "template modifications" documented in Julian's book. In fact, page 170 has a full page devoted to a T100 with a full bedcover and a tail... I wonder who built that one...I wonder who picked it as worthy for publication...
