Default bleached out build sheet help

I retrieved my build sheet off the tank, but it is bleached white after so many years under the car. Any ideas on how to treat it so I could at least read and photo it? Thanks!

Call a local museum and ask if they have or can recommend someone in the document restoration business. Sometimes, using different wavelengths of light (instead of 'white' light) will allow the printed images to appear. If you get that accomplished, have digital photos of the document taken in that light and make print-outs to display with your car. Keep the original in an acid-free, UV-blocking plastic document sleeve.
