Thanks for the input and template , if I was to start the Template @ the windshield top and have it taper back into the boat tail profile , it would shorten the length of the required profile.

In the above photo the added section would start at the top of the windshield for the highest point tapering back into the boattail profile

another way to look at it ..
If the Beetle was backed up in the photo until the windshield was at the profile's start, it would shorten the length a fair amount.

I could leave the windshield as is and hack just the roof and hatch.



I could shrink the car into a boat tail

edit: It would require a Roll Cage and certification and more money then I have to spare at the moment. mo money
