Has anyone removed the moon roof and patched with fiberglass. I work at a body shop, painting cars, and just started learning more bodywork. I know i can do this so I'm curious if anyone else has, how did you do it? 

 

Also stuck between 2 colors for my 83. 

Chrysler's/Dodge     plum crazy purple

Or A house of kolor pearl white with glow in the dark powder that I have at work thrown in the paint

Removing the sunroof and its mechanism and glassing over the top has been done I believe.  I know a fellow (since deceased) who owned a body shop that had an '85 Avanti who wanted to get rid of his sunroof.  He bought a NOS roof panel from Nostalgic Motors, cut the roof off his car and glassed in the new, solid roof.  I saw the car and the work was outstanding.  Doing that is an option.

As far as color...let your wife pick it.  That's what I did.

MFG recently posted on another topic/thread about how he eliminated his sun roof.  As far as color - How long do you plan on keeping the car? If it is less than five years paint it the original color, or something "normal" for the year of the car.
