Surfaces to Solid Using Projected Curves and Lofts

Hello,
I am working on trying to make a part created with projected curves and lofts into a solid object. I have not been able to close 2 of the sides. Any help appreciated.
How do i make the backside solid?

Or maybe this picture shows what I think. The curve establishing what you call backside seems to be on or parallel to the bottom plane. You should be able to extrude that curve to close out your part with a surface.

Thanks for taking the time to look at this. Is there anything you would do differently to make a similarly shaped part?

And you asked about any other ideas. Your general approach is very good using projected curves, lofts, and then extrude & enclose. Not sure of your intent but your curves are not smooth. You will want to work on your sketches, esp. splines. You can use tangency at joining curves and try not to put more than 3 points in a splines (two is often enough). You can do a lot with constraints and the spline handles. The Forum has many threads on smooth curves/surfaces. Here is one and a second one where @John_P_Desilets has some great tips for splines & lofts.
