Jason's Aveo was finally starting to come together but the Fred Flintstone look had to go, so the crew began reassembly quickly. They started with the engine first, bolting the LSJ motor in place after lowering the Aveo chassis down to the engine. The interior was next; wiring, pedals, fuel cell with the lines and, most importantly, the seats with racing harnesses were all put into place. All interior panels went in after they were covered in custom carbon-fiber material from Raul's Auto Trim, like the door panels, dash and most trim pieces. In just two days, Whitfield Racing took a painted skeleton and turned out a complete racecar, finishing a six-month project in time for its first Super Lap Battle appearance at the '07 Finals. While it didn't run to its full potential, during the off-season it has been tuned to run our series this year. Curious to see what the sickest 300-plus piece Lego-like project is going to look like when it's done and how it's going to perform? So are we. Next month you're going to catch the final feature and see how dope the Whitfield Racing Aveo really is! The final dyno figures are going to blow your mind!
