Got these by email in the last few days. Just thought they were interesting.


"...By the way, so far in Minnesota I have seen four International Builders Symbols on the highway, (on vehicles of course)."
Vern Metcalf


"Saw my third decal on a car and this time was able to catch up to the guy and meet him. A rod builder who lives less than ten miles from me and I never would have known it without spotting the decal and following him."
Ken Finch


"There was a truck parked in the marina lot with one of the rod builder symbols on it. The guy was off fishing so I left a card on his windshield. Maybe he will get in touch with me."
Carl Kidd


"My son and his wife have already seen a truck in Dallas with the rod building symbol decal."
Karen Hapka

I've seen it on two different vehicles, but did not run them down. I-95. Assume they are fellow rod builders. Kind of neat.

How does one get such a decal? What does it look like?

I guess that I,ll go around tomarrow to see if any of the tackle shops have them on the door or windows of their shops.I live in south west FL. <<<<DON>>>>

I've mailed out 30,000 of them thus far. But, there are 300,000,000+ in the U.S. alone. Rod builders don't exist in any great density. Still, a few are spotting them out and around. I suspect another month or so will go by before most will see one other than their own.

I just thought it was interesting that a few have seen several, already.
