You've been on this site for a couple of years and you don't know who Fbodfather is?????

Yes, he does work for GM. Has for 30 years. Most of what we know about the Camaro today is a result of his words of wisdom.

But seriously dude, not trying to be a jerk here, but you might just want to search all of his posts.

Fbodfather is a friend to all and yes he does work for GM. He's a swell guy and he is basically the guy who helps us with the info on the Camaro.He is the biggest Camaro/Firebird fan out there. If you ask him a question, he'll try to do best he can to answer it as long it does not reveal any classified information. SO anything he says, is the best info you could get. Again, he's a real swell guy.

Hes our inside source (but not my God). I ve been around here for about 3 months (finally decided to join here not too long ago), and after a week I figured out his name was scott, then scott settlemire and then saw pics of him a indy and finally put it all together. I still cant figure out "Shunt" though. ????

SSOOCH · 11-25-2008, 04:44 PM

lalometalik · 11-25-2008, 04:45 PM

That's a saga unto itself. It would take me 500 posts to explain it, so your best bet is to search and read up yourself.

I will get you started, however.....

:notheadlights: These were the original IVER headlights, and there was a sticker seen in a spy shot of an IVER with the words "SHUNT in trunk" on the dash board.

Through intense investigations, multiple military actions, and communications with everyone from the CIA to the Autobots, it was found that Scott and Shunt had an arguement over the headlights, and thus Scott kidnapped and placed Shunt in the trunk of an IVER

Ok, now I know fbodfather's real name. A quick google search and I now realize that asking who fbodfather was is like asking who the pope is.

I deserve whatever wrath comes my way......

Scott Settlemire was Chevrolet's last Camaro Product Manager of the fourth-generation (1993-2002) years. Since Camaro production was temporarily suspended on August 27th 2002, Mr. Settlemire remained a GM employee working in other parts of the Chevrolet organization, most recently in "Shows and Exhibits". He, also, remained one of the staunchest Camaro supporters at Chevrolet along with one of the key people guarding the Camaro flame in the Internet automotive enthusiast community. Basically, when you cut this man's finger, he bleeds Bow-Tie Red!

Scott Settlemire is a longtime friend and supporter of the Tom Henry Racing organization and our web site so we hear from him every so often on subjects of interest to the "Camaro Nation." Understandably, since January of 2006, the contact with Scott has been more frequent. Shortly after GM's Aug. 10th announcement that the Camaro Concept, the sensation of the Detroit and L.A. Auto Shows, is going to production, expectedly, we heard from Mr. Settlemire. We thought all of our Camaro friends would like to read what he had to say on that historic day.
