Alrighty drivers! You know how this works. It's time to introduce these heaps for Scrapper's Showdown. If you haven't shipped your car yet, you might not make the deadline. So get 'er done!
On the left, Uncle Elvis from Uncle Elvis Racing in Georgia, USA has checked in and passed inspection. Uncle Elvis is driving a blue and red '70 Ford Boss Mustang, which we are pretty sure it lost it's spoiler while driving away from the junkyard. Hopefully he didn't need that. If we find it, we have a box of 100 rolls of duct tape.
On the right, Russ T. Carr from Overclocked Racing in California, USA has checked in and passed inspection. Russ is driving a gray, yellow, blue, and poopy rust blackish brown Chrysler 300C, which those rims alone are probably more expensive than the entire car itself. Let's just hope the body stays together long enough for those shiny spinners to cross the finish line.
So we have no idea what these two knuckle draggers were thinking when they offloaded these exotic cars. But after further inspection, we discovered that they are basically Fiero body kits. Well, they were good enough for Scrapper, so they're good enough for the Showdown.
On the left, R-Lo from R-Lo Racing in Connecticut, USA has checked-in and passed inspection. R-Lo will be driving a purple and gray Fiero NSX, which the rust has eaten away so much of that roof that it may actually disintegrate if he rolls over. And what is up with the windows? It's like he melted a bunch of Viper sunglasses together to make a windshield.
On the right, Tain from Indiana Diecast Racing in Indiana, USA has checked-in and passed inspection. Tain will will be driving a black, purple, red, and green Fiero Sesto Elemento that he named "Midwest Nobility." Is Indiana considered a state in the midwest? We initially thought Indiana wasn't actually a real state, but after a quick Google search we learned that it is Ohio that is not a real state. Well, hopefully Tain can reign supreme here at the Rim.

Next up for Scrapper's Showdown, we have high clearance versus low clearance. These two drivers have gone in two completely different directions with their scrap heaps.
On the left, Glitch from Flat Rabbit Racing Club in Illinois, USA has checked-in and passed inspection. Glitch is driving a blue, gray, and black 1968 Chevy Nova with a crap ton of bondo. And when we say crap ton, we seriously mean a crap ton. There's bondo on the fenders, doors, and even under the chassis. So much bondo in fact, that we think Glitch had to raise the clearance high enough just so the belly of his car wouldn't drag.
On the right, Jack Dup from Chaos Canyon Diecast Racing in New Zealand has checked-in and passed inspection. Jack is driving a bile, puke yellow and gray 1969 Ford Torino Talladega, where he used duct tape to make his lucky #13. Numbers weren't mandatory, but now we're thinking we should have made numbers mandatory because all of these scrap heaps are all starting to look the same.
Next up in the Scrapper's Showdown spotlight are two wack-a-doodles that really like junk. More so than Scrapper himself we think.
On the left, Ragtag Jim from Ragtag Racing in Tennessee, USA has checked-in and passed inspection. Jim is driving a green 1965 Ford Mustang Fastback, which we have seemed to lost the paperwork for but if you ask us officially... Jim didn't bring it to the registration table. The funny thing about this car is that the exhaust underneath the car has been removed. All the way from the catalytic converter to the muffler is just gone, and Jim has no idea where it went.
On the right, Jaeden Johnson (good ol' JJ) from Ca$h Money Boy$ in Texas, USA has checked-in and passed inspection. And yes, JJ did pay us extra to write his team name just like that even though he couldn't provide us any IP patent paperwork. JJ is driving a black, gray, and dark red 1957 Chevy Pickup that literally has no back end. This truck is nothing but motor. Even inside the cab... nothing! The only thing inside the cab is an old wooden rocking chair duct taped to the floor with an upside down broom stick as a shifter.
- Now my friends is how you build a Scrapper!! Lol!! Bailin’ wire and rattlin its way down the road. If it can make it to the finishline then thats a victory in self!! — CaShMoneyBoyS
- Its called weight reduction and scrap money lol have to be able to afford the brewskis somehow!!!!! Hahaha — RAGTAG_JIM
The cars are looking good. Hopefully Jack can do better in this one than he did in the Rising Sun
Back to the Scrapper Showdown entries! These next two drivers really revived some junkers for this race.
On the left, Too Kay from 2K Racing in Kansas, USA has checked-in and passed inspection. Too Kay will be driving a gray and cream 1992 Ford Mustang 5.0 Hatchback, which apparently lost his gas cap on the way here. Just keep that car away from the Private Jet from Rust Belt Racing. Otherwise, it will turn into a molotov cocktail and we'll lose another garage here at the Rim. And true story... Too Kay actually bought this car from my old college roommate!
On the right, the Crazy Canuck from the Eh Team and White Nuckle Motoring Speed Shop in Canada has checked-in and passed inspection. The Crazy Canuck will be driving a very rusty Datsun 240, which we're not entirely positive if it is brown in color, or if it is just all rust. But we think it is the later since thet actually pulled this car out of a lake before they made it run. Hopefully they got all that lake water out of it. Otherwise, those Kaiju spores combined with that lake water may produce something none of us would want to be around.
Up next, we have two lean, mean, fighting machines. One car is a hornet that is out to sting you with his Kaiju acid, and the other is just furious. Not sure if it is fast, but is it furious.
On the left, Scooter Roundwell from Spirit of '64 in Colorado, USA has checked-in and passed inspection. Scooter will be driving a green and purple 1988 Honda CRX, and that purple is NOT paint. It's actually the Kaiju acid eating away at parts of the CRX like branding of a cow. Scooter took a Kaiju's claw dipped in acid and etched into his car, and thus calling it the "Junior Hornet." So don't rub against this car. Otherwise, your tires might melt off!
On the right, Mr. Darq from Dubious Diecast in Oklahoma, USA has checked-in and passed inspection. Mr. Darq will be driving a teal 1973 Ford Falcon, which he actually imported in from New Zealand. Unfortunately, the car did not look like this when he turned it over to the freight company several months ago. It actually sat in a container waiting for a ship, which we all know is a nightmare right now. Well, it finally got on a vessel, but when the container arrived and was opened, it came out looking like this. Apparently, as the container was being loaded onto the vessel in New Zealand, one of the supports broke and the container landed in the water in the harbor. Fortunately, the harbor masters were able to fish the container out of the water, but didn't realize that about 6-feet of water filled the container. So Mr. Darq saw the call for drivers in an announcement, and turned lemons into lemonade.
I'm interested but looks like you are full. Let me know if there is room for me
