The holes for the emblem which were already punched were filled in with body solder and painted over. This finish wasn't perfect, as though someone had "restored" the car that way.
So, the question is: Does your Dad remember any of these '61 "oddballs" that had those holes filled and filed in the dash when the car came in for paint?

He said he didn't remember anything specific like that. But he did say they were all the time having to fill holes in fenders and such. This was usually due to using parts left over from previous model that the new one didn't need the holes.

Also, was the metal dash painted before or after the body, and what kind of masking was done between the two?

Dash was painted before the body. Basicly the masking was done as quick and easy as possible.
