Thanks for any help.

Sorry this took so long. I spoke to the paint department Supt, who just lost his wife.
Anyways, the painting of the 1970 firewall and the dash areas referred to as the black out operation (BO) and Instrument Panel (IP) both occurred in the positions shown on the plant diagram within Lacquer booth #2 located on the 2nd floor of the plant. Black out operation was first in line followed by the Instrument panel.
The windshield install was completed later in the Hard Trim Department while the body was still on a build truck on the main trim conveyor. The windshield was installed in the configuration as pictured. This was the glass installation element group.
