Also , as mentioned, the first gen assy process by John Hinkley is a must read.

Not sure exactly what year and car models you are talking about. I checked my 72 Nova SS, it is a Van Nuys built California car and has the red oxide primer inside the fenders, and back seat support brace you can see inside the trunk. So maybe not all cars used the gray primer as you stated.
