A 1956 Ford F100 Panel Van RestoMod that spans 3 generations of family drivers. “The Duomo” is the name given to the truck by my great grandfather…

**Updated 9/28/26** The Duomo has moved to its Winter location, Lake Havasu City, AZ for the next few months to get away from the PNW rain. Lake Havasu Run To the Sun is our last scheduled show of the year before we head back to FFG for some self-care and engine bay upgrades. See you around LHC soon! #56fordpanel #56fordpaneltruck #56fordpanelvan #56fordpaneldelivery #56fordf100 by @56fordpanel

Two pieces of history still showing what they got in the AZ sunset glow. The guys at #fatfendergarage got permission to get into Falcon Field and capture some absolutely stunning shots of two of my favorite things. #56fordpanel #56fordpaneltruck #56fordpanelvan #56fordpaneldelivery #56fordf100 #56fordf100panel by @56fordpanel

Same truck, 4 years apart. Amazing what kind of a transformation can happen in that amount of time. So happy Nonno was/is able to see it all happen and be a part of the journey. Notice him in the background happy as can be. It’s come a long long way and we couldn’t be happier! #56fordpanel #56fordpaneltruck #56fordpaneldelivery #56fordpanelvan #fatfendergarage by @56fordpanel

Happy Halloween everyone! Stay safe out there! #56fordpanel #56fordpanelvan #56fordpaneltruck #56fordpaneldelivery #56fordf100 by @56fordpanel

Some great shots shared with me by @goofys32 from this past weekend at the Relics and Rods Run to The Sun! Thanks for sharing!#56fordpanel #56fordpaneltruck #56fordpaneldelivery #56fordpanelvan #56fordf100 by @56fordpanel

This weekend marked the end of our 2026 show season in Lake Havasu City, AZ at the Relics and Rods Run to The Sun. This show was extremely well organized and a blast to attend. Some great people and great builds showed up. The Duomo walked away with a Top 10 Award out of almost 600 vehicles. No official finishing order here, just an overall Top 10 which was kind of cool. For sure one of the coolest trophies of the year. They were all handmade by the Navajo Tribe in Gallup, NM…a tradition at this show since 2008. Thanks to everyone who helped out this weekend to make this possible. #56fordpanel #56fordpaneltruck #56fordpaneldelivery #56fordpanelvan #56fordf100 by @56fordpanel

Had a great weekend at the @grandnationaltruckshow in Pomona, CA this past weekend. The quality of the builds at this show were off the charts and provided some STIFF competition. Great to see old friends and make some new ones! Honored to come away with Best in Class, Outstanding Paint, Outstanding Interior, and Outstanding Personal Display. Special thanks to my LA OG buddies for helping me set up and take down this time. Been a long year on the show circuit but shows like this make it all worth it! #56fordpanel #56fordpaneltruck #56fordpaneldelivery #56fordpanelvan #fatfendergarage by @56fordpanel

This was a great project for @56fordpanel
So fun to follow his adventures up and down the West Coast via IG. Hope I get to see this truck in person one day.

Meet “The Duomo”—a @56fordpanel truck that @fatfendergarage transformed from a three-generation family workhorse into what might be the world’s ultimate restomod. Originally bought 65 years ago by Steve Castellano’s grandfather to haul furniture, this rare commercial classic was driven by Steve’s dad in high school and has now been elevated into a true rolling heirloom. Named after Milan’s iconic cathedral as a nod to its long, multi-generational evolution, the truck now pairs its rich heritage with world-class execution: a custom BASF burnt orange paint job that shifts from deep copper to bright orange, a Gen 3 Coyote 5.0L V8 mated to a 10-speed transmission, a custom Porterbuilt chassis, and a fully bespoke interior featuring custom wood flooring and dual A/C. It’s a flawless intersection of family legacy, modern performance, and master craftsmanship. by @56fordpanel

We were honored and floored to come away with Best In Show at the 2026 Wheels and Waves Car show in Seaside, OR this weekend. An unreal feeling being recognized at a car show I’ve been coming to since I was a kid. Reminisced with friends and family about the times we had in this city 30-40 years ago. Crazy how time flies. Thanks again to everyone who made this weekend possible. #wheelsandwaves #56fordpanel #56fordpaneltruck #56fordpaneldelivery #fatfendergarage by @56fordpanel
