Skilled in the art of engine building, welding, and now venturing into the world of painting, Omar's passion for classic cars knows no bounds. His journey with a '68 Torino, purchased from the original owner, showcases his dedication to restoring and customizing these automotive gems. A trip to Tijuana for a $4,000 paint job adds a touch of flair to his beloved Torino, transforming it into a true highway cruiser.
Omar's garage also houses a '64 Galaxy, featuring a 302 engine and eye-catching Repro Torino GT wheels, a true testament to his love for classic Fords.

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.
