C3 Designs is a one-shop custom house where wild ideas get welded into steel. Restomods, ground-up builds, and fabrication that makes a customer’s dream actually drive.
Cody Croft has always built the things other people only sketch on a napkin.
C3 Designs runs out of Bldg. 1 on FM 2164 in Sanger, Texas — a custom shop where Cody takes on the builds most shops pass on. The wild idea. The “can you actually do that?” project. The tired classic that deserves a second life with modern muscle underneath it.
He’s a hands-on custom builder, start to finish. Fabrication, bodywork, chassis, drivetrain — it all happens under one roof, run through one set of hands. That’s what keeps a build honest: the person who dreams it up with you is the same person turning the wrenches.
His whole philosophy is simple — build the crazy stuff he sees in his head, and make customers’ dreams come true while he’s at it. No production line. No shortcuts. No two builds the same.

Your project doesn’t get passed around a shop. Cody owns it from the first cut to the final detail.
You’ll hear what’s realistic, what it costs, and what it takes — up front, not after the fact.
Measured twice, cut once, finished patiently. The kind of work that holds up on the road and at the show.
Every car leaves as its own machine. If you wanted ordinary, you’d have gone somewhere else.
From a tired classic to a clean-sheet build, C3 handles the whole car under one roof.
Ground-up builds from your vision — chassis, body, drivetrain, interior. We start with the idea and end with a running, driving machine.
Classic looks, modern muscle. Keep the soul of a Chevelle or Mustang while it stops, steers, and runs like a car built this decade.
Custom one-off metalwork — panels, brackets, mounts, mini-tubs. If it doesn’t exist off the shelf, we make it from scratch.
Get it sitting right and driving right. Suspension upgrades, chassis work, and stance dialed in for the street or the strip.
Swaps, upgrades, and the wiring to back it up. More power, put down clean, built to actually live on the road.
The part everyone sees. Bodywork and finish done patiently, so the panels are straight and the paint is deep.
Every C3 build moves through the same five stages — so you always know where your car stands.
We sit down, talk the dream, and figure out what’s real, what’s wild, and what it takes.
Direction, parts, and a path. The build gets mapped before a single cut is made.
Metal, chassis, drivetrain. This is where the idea turns into a real machine.
Bodywork, paint, interior, and the details that separate good from done-right.
Keys in hand. You drive away in the thing that started as a thought.
