29 Tudor - roof panel repair help

[BigIrish]

Hey guys, trying to figure out how to repair this. Up until a month ago this patch panel was avail at Mikes A Affordable, but the one guy in the world who was hand-making them (in Denmark no less!!) has quit, so I'm out of luck. Any suggestions for forming sheet metal to fit this area? The other side is OK. Also, what kind/thickness to you reccomend. I heard theres some kind that has a little aluminum in it that body guys use. Sheet metal experience - ZERO. Thanks!

www.macsautoparts.com They have replacement body parts like that. A little pricey but how many donor cars are out there also

Awesome! Just ordered it. Hopefully they have at least one left in stock. Pricey yes, but it will look alot better than what I can cobble together. Thanks!
