While at least a few M-706E1's had Miniguns mounted in their turret, such as "Feelin' Groovy", there is now evidence of top mounted Miniguns, too. This You Tube Gun Truck footage has one at the range shooting at 8:33. Pretty cool footage of a lot of famous Gun Truck. Great range footage for sure.
Is your front panel, the radiator cover panel new? If so, that is the exact material and thickness used for the side panels. It is foam-filled fiberglass and very common in the marine world. Used a lot for cabins and internal partitions on all kinds of boats. If you need a new radiator cover...

"Russian version of our own stealth Bomber" Hardly. First off, this is an air superiority fighter, not a bomber. Second, the Russians are quite capable of building their own aircraft using their own designs and have been doing so for many decades. This is a fact as recognized by the DOD and...
That engine worked just fine in the SOCOM Jeep TJ I owned last year. 28mpg at 70mph all day long. Plenty of beans on hill off-road. It's gearing and torque that count, not horsepower.
