The Wildcat 455 Air Cleaner cover on my '61 Buick Electra is in need of paint & reconditioning due to a mouse family that had made a home in the hood insulation and soiled the lid causing rust. (Need ideas on the insulation repair/ replacement material too).

Repainting the air cleaner cover is easy enough, but where can I find new decals? Or can I? If not I could sure use a good photograph of a clean air cleaner so I can re-paint the design myself, or a replacement piece in good condition would be great!

Thanks in advance for your help and pointers!
