Just curious as to what this extra thin piece of tin is.

Inspection tag.. The stamps are inspectors approval...  That style is typically used on later model stuff, yours being a 73 qualifies...

Usually they are stamped and then cut off at the end of the line.  So most often they are only a little sharp piece of metal under the tag that catch's your wrist when working in the bay. 

That's a really cool item to still have on your car.

Good grief buddy...

"...put the screws back in." is what I assume you meant

Keep it ...its a good piece of the cars history. Here's mine off a 71 'Cuda with a April 30 build date.

This one is off of my 74.  If anyone knows, I'd like to know what each inspection was.  Some are obvious, but what is SOL L&R, H+D L&R?

I'll take a guess at answering my own question....  There were at least two body inspectors on each line, left & right, before paint.  Maybe a 3rd under the car for frame inspection.  SOL L&R is solder or lead work?  H+D L&R is hood and deck lid alignment?   :dunno:

In what year did the use of the fender tag begin?  Thanks!
