Technically, the rear fenders would have to be integrated into the aft-body extension, as Carl Breer did with the 1934 De Soto Airflow test mule.
An extremely complicated build, since body camber on the roof is the most 'mature', the main body plan-camber, in 'second-place', and the pontoon fenders just in their 'infancy.'
You'd want a bridge fiducial to keep track of all the evolving geometry, guarantee alignment, and side-to-side fidelity.
It would be the 'Tesla Model S of Beetles' though. Cd 0.244, vs Cd 0.495.
