simple part turned complicated

Hi All,

I am trying to create what I thought was a simple part but have likely gone down a stray path. Right now, most of the part is a solid model but I had to use surfaces to complete the basic shape. Problem is, I can't figure out how to join the surfaces to the rest of the model to create one cohesive part.

"exo00.sldprt" shows complete shape that is more or less what i want.

"exo000.sldprt" shows the surfacing that i want to convert to solid and join to the rest.

There may be multiple issues here. All input welcome.

Thanks in advance,

Jeff
