Welcome, David! Glad you joined.

Happy Birthday! 62 is young! One of us on here will be 77 soon, and I'll be 76.

For adding pics look at Bullnose Forum/Forum FAQ's in the menu.

And speaking of the menu, we have a map at Bullnose Forum/Member's Map and can add you if you'd like.

You are now on the map. And you figured out how to post pics. Well done!

That green is unusual, and I like it.

Thanks , Dark spruce metallic and light spruce metallic and as I have learned the 81 is not only one of the hardest to find parts for but the color is even harder.

Hi David!

Is the interior color original?

Probably the optional interior color they called "medium spruce glow"?

First time I see one, I like it!

Nicknamed «Big Brother 1984», due to its soooo-looong shape & nod to George Orwell's 1984 famous novel.
