Thanks a lot, AG.

The "whatever" is a pronoun. I'm wondering why the "make" takes an object.

Make is complex-transitive: it takes an object (it) and an objective predicative complement (whatever). His next sentence (So make it a good one!) has the same structure.

Whatever means anything that, so you could think of it as referring to anything.
