Can't extrude, and I'm certain I'm way off... HELP :-)
Hello all, and thank you for taking the time to look! I cannot get this car profile to extrude, and I've tried everything I know. I'm certain someone here with much more experience will either have an answer, or know that its not possible…could you please let me know?
Here's the link to the project:

the two curves making up this feature overlap or merge into the same line. if you change the angle of one of them or trim off the end of both then you can extrude

it is VERY undefined and isn't really in a sketch format, it seems to be more like a perspective drawing of some sort. if you are trying to model the car, I would suggest you use that image as a reference and start a side view sketch from scratch.

Yes. I finally had time to try Mikayla's solution, and it was absolutely correct. There was no need to start over, and I just spaced the two lines apart to stop the overlap. Thank you so much for responding!!!

Thank you so much Mikayla for taking the time to take a look at my issue and diagnose it!!! I was able to extrude and 3d print, and here's a pic:

Nice! I suggested you start over because I thought you were trying to actually model the whole car, my bad.

Now I get it! I could have been a lot clearer as to the final product! Thank you for your help, and for following up!!!
