well I quess I was being to easy, after a week of no returned phone calls or messages I feel like I have been duped. I will list on here the messages we traded back and forth. Jake Hammond of Morgantown Kentucky is the person I dealt with on the trade. Car was supposed to have roller rockers but it did not, and he was supposed to ship them to me. Also was told the car was turnkey but it was far from it with no brake fluid in the master cylinder and the left rear wheel cylinder blown out. all light were supposed to be functional but the turn signal switch is busted off in the column and last but not least he never mentioned the car had a salvage/rebuilt title. Shame on me for not fully inspecting the car at the time of the trade but shame on him for not following up on his promise.
read the text from the bottom to the top.







have to ship them out monday.

I have faith that you will stick to your word. Yes, I am a believer in kharma too. let me know. I will gladly send you a pic as confirmation if you like but they are just steel rockers...

I pulled the value covers off when i first got the car and there were roller rockers, the only possible way is if my so called BUDDY!! took them, the car had been sitting at his shop for about a week and a half. give me till tom. and i will find out, i'm a true believer if you do someone wrong it will come back to you!!! i will send you a set of roller rockers as soon as i find out what happened to them.
