The law reads the same in Ohio, but in 18 years, including lots of wheeled armor and lots of driving around, with no plates displayed, I've never been pulled over. The "test drive" clause is my excuse should it ever occur.
That would be a **** of a combination. FWIW: there's a guy in southern Texas that is REWATing the 76mm on his Scorpion. With an approved Form 1 and a good machinist, it's not that tough. But I like the idea of the 20mm, Justin.
These types of armored security vehicles have been around awhile, but here's some good photos:

These racing "P51s" are no more an original WWII P51 than Jimmy Johnson's NASCAR is a Toyota. It is in name and appearance only. There is nothing old. These are purpose-built racing machines from the ground up. This was not the loss of a vintage aircraft.
Bradley and Stryker use a 25mm and a totally different storage arrangement. This is from an M-88, for .50 ammo boxes. There is a flashlight holder on the top as well. Mounts near the commander's hatch.
Looks like a great event. I see two vehicles there that I once owned. Neat turnout. Thanks for posting the photos and of posting photos of the folks there too, instead of just vehicles.
