Wreck of the '46 October 2004

Here is the result of the rollover of the '46.  We had just done some carb work when my son and buddy went for a 'test drive'.  They went up the dirt road behind the house about 4 miles.  When he turned around he mashed the pedal (we were having bog on WOT)...  the throttle stuck on him.  He hit the brakes instead of turning the key off.  Then did a power slide slow left turn - wheel snapped in the soft dirt of the ditch - rolled nose over driver side @ 35 mph (per state patrol investigation).  No ticket - trooper said it was just due to inexperience on his part.
