This is the overhead I made and installed in the 68.
No spots, just glare.

I used the thin door skin material.
I plan on doing the door panels just haven't got to it yet. I did woodwork on a 79 years back and used 3/4 stock for the door panels. The depth allows for doing some creative routing.

Now that I would like to see. Don't here much about people doing routing work, if you have good bits and a creative mind, you could do some awesome one off's
