Then I'd get a dog of a case, repair that and cover it in camo pattern cloth. I'd also have the metal parts stripped and they'd be painted flat black as well.
THAT would be a cool machine .... In My Not So Humble Opinion.

Oh you and my hubby would love each other. My partner and I were at the automotive paint store today picking some colors to use on our next machines and they have a whole camo color line. I am seriously considering doing my industrial singer in much the way you described wanting a 66. We're making custom cases for the machines we sell. a 66 or a 99 in a traditional case that has been customized needs its own coordinating case
