How do you get rid of a moonroof

Just picked up a solid, clean, rustfree 2 door classic mopar, Too clean and complete of a car to pass up. One big problem. Somebody installed an ugly moon roof at one point. This must go. Any ideas? A carefully crafted patch panel with back up bracing and a vinyl roof over the top is what comes to mind. Anybody ever tried this.?? I'm not gonna put a new roof on the car, unless no other choice.
Thanks , Neal

Solar eclipse?

Keep it cool when welding in a patch panel, minimizing the amount of hammering and bondo. Anneal the areas you did your shaping.
