Default Lemans Stripes on 1966 Vert

Considering doing lemans aka Shelby stripes on my 66 vert project. I've got the dimensions for coupes and fastbacks and they are tapered to eliminate optical allusion of the stripes getting smaller from front to back (see attached)

Have not seen anthing for verts. Was wondering if same optical allusion is in effect or since no stripes on tops it does not exist.

Just curious what other have done. thanks

Why can't you just use the same dimensions and just do not use the roof dimensions?
I think that would work and look fine.

If it was done to eliminate the optical illusion of the stripes getting narrower, the same principles would apply vert or not. I have no real experience with it, but logic tells me you should use the same dimensions.
