what if you found a suitable size Fram filter and cut it open to get the element out of it? that way you could keep the patina look and still have modern filtration? the flip side would be if you restoring it, get someone to make the stickers and then get it rechromed. hell with my nova i was lucky enough to score some original 60's license plates and even the registration stickers that went on the window. the stickers were repoped for movie props but i bought the remainders so my car will be rocking vintage plates, stickers and even the license plate frame.
