I know some people use them, but you don't really need them if you have the video. The frames vary some from car to car so the template may not be exact anyway. I did my 48 F-3 without a template and it was not difficult.

centerline meaning that the wheels will be centered in the fender.

The video addresses it in detail. Your wheels will be centered with the Volare.

Yes, for years 53-56 which the video was made for it tells you to move axle centerline forward one inch to center front wheels. For 48-52 and other installations you do not move axle centerline forward.
