With plans to paint his Comet black and dive into a '68 Mustang Fastback project, Omar's ambition and hands-on approach to car restoration are truly commendable. His dedication to learning new skills and taking the time to do things right exemplifies a true automotive aficionado. From engine swaps to custom paint jobs, Omar's journey in the world of classic car restoration is a testament to the enduring allure of vintage automobiles and the enthusiasts who breathe new life into them.
