I tried my hand at a more complex alternate, using Tyler's drawing as a base.
To make the doors operational with the extra thickness, one would have to add a deep wedge or cut-out (not shown). The leading edge of the door would be similar to how they treat thick rubber door trim. This of course might disrupt the air flow, not sure of the net gain (if any).
On the other hand, Beetle doors are only a couple of inches thick, verses 6 inch thick modern doors, maybe redoing the hinge is all that is needed.

Too complex?
