Back in the '70s there was an old fraud named Ruth Norman who ran a
flying-saucer cult out of a storefront in El Cajon, CA.  Her dilapidated  old Caddy
sported a gigantic fiberglass saucer on the roof, so it can be  done.

I'd be more concerned with the wingspan on this project.  It needs to  be
substantially narrower than a lane's width.
