fender tag
It looks like the screws were switched left to right at one point. The right screw looks to have paint on it and would have been on the left where the tag was bent up for painting. Is there a small area of no paint under the left side of the tag where the crease is on the inner fender?

I took some pictures so you can take a look. This first picture is with the tag removed and placed above where it normally is screwed down. You can see on the left its more rusty compared to the right side

Look for factory runs, sags etc. Here is a pic of factory paint on my front fender....very poor paint in 69

Yep definitely have the factory 'defects' such as runs and even orange peel in some spots

Mostly original paint '70 'Cuda (the engine compartment was painted black back in the '70's)- lots of orange peel, anywhere the paint is buffed too thin or where chips/dings/dents are, you can see the primer layers.

the 2nd screw was then put in to paint.So the tag and under it got primer.If you can find a guy with a durometer(it measures the thickness in miles)you can get a better idea if its orginial...
