Got a question.. and since it's in the engine compartment I'll post it here. I have a signature on the right wheel well in the engine compartment. I can make out the first name but not the last name. It's Scott something and was signed on 02-09-02. Does anyone know what this signafies? Is this like having a baseball card signed by Mickey Mantel?

Just wondering if anyone has any insight into what the signature is...

Thanks..

Lol, since it wasn't signed in 98 or 99, then it more than likely wasn't signed when it was made. So, whoever had it before you, if that applies, had it signed by someone. Maybe a shop that did some work? I am unaware of any Scott...

 

Scotty Cannon maybe?

 

Scott Settelmire (sp?) A.K.A. "Father of the F-Body"

He more than likely signed it for the previous owner at a car show or Super Chevy event.

 

I am my cars daddy

 

LMFAO.

 

That's the name.. Settelmire that's what it looks like..

Here's 2 pics of the signature:



(Sorry for the fuzziness, couldn't get them much clearer)

Thanks fellas for the help.. I need to preserve that signature some how.. maybe a can of clearcoat? Any suggestions?

Yup thats Scott Settlemeyer (sp). I have the same thing on my center tail panel. He signed it at the All checy show in seattle this last year.

 

Yeah I'll have to preserve that signature some how...

I have thought of pulling my panel off and hanging it in the garage and replacing it with a CF or white one to give a black car the "berger" look.

 

Yea mine is signed too. Scott Settlemeyer signed one side and Barry Oakley signed the other this year at the Camaro/Firebird invasion at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green Ky. They are both super guys and were signing anyone's car that asked them too. I've got pictures of both of them with my car.

Lets try this in here..

I've seen people use a a clear laminate over signatures like that.

 

yeah just use a piece of clear vinyl and it will stay

 

dont even worry about it, it'll stay there just dont clean that spot... if someone looks at it they dont want to see a plastic barrier and armed guards protecting a cool signature

 

correct spelling.....Scott Settlemire

 

Scott signed mine at the Atlanta F Body Gathering 7. I sprayed it with some clear and it protects it really good.

 

glad someone finally got Scott's name right. Come on u guys should know things like this. lol

 

Scott used to come over to our forums at MTFBA.org before the infamous "Z06" episode. Good guy. I still have a PM in inbox there from him.

 

Scott Settlemire (notice correct spelling) signed my T/A also on PS shock tower @ the Tom Henry Show this past summer in PA.

I had him use a silver paint pen so it would be permanent. My wife & I got some pics with Scott and the car plus he took us for a ride in his special edition Camaro.

This show was touted as a F-Body show and our Trans Am club was invited - once we got there it was all Camaro's except for me & my buddy - I still took 2nd place. This show was judged by a local Pittsburgh club using a points rating system in many catagories - the guy that won 1st actually spent most of the day cleaning his car.

Scott is a real nice guy - answered alot of questions - so much of the rumored stories out there are far from true as far as to what went on in GM during F-Body production, the new GTO & the C6.

When asked if/when there would be a new design T/A Camaro back at GM - we were told that he couldn't devulge any details - but 'to be patient, it will be sooner than you think'

Seeing that the new Mustang Cobra is coming out in 2006 - it might just be a toss-up between it, and the new T/A!
