Chris Campbell purchased his Mercedes CLS550 looking for a challenge. He’d already successfully built a Dodge Charger and saw an opportunity to go for something more unique. “I haven’t seen too many hooked up Benz,” says Campbell. At the time of publication, the primary focus of the build has been on the interior, exterior and entertainment — leading to a few best in show wins at Hot Import Nights, Extreme AutoFest and Forbidden Fantasy. Campbell has plenty planned for the future, including modifications on the suspension, exhaust, breaks and overall performance.
