Car Modeling – how to create a solid shape for CNC

Dear Autodesk community,

Fusion 360 has been exciting to learn for me over the last weeks.
I have been managing to create what I wished pretty well so far with tutorials, but now I need some troubleshooting with a shape that is supposed to be CNC-cut from layered plates of wood.

To do so, the shape of a car as attached to this post in screenshots has to becomes a solid volume. In the end, everything under the "skin" of the car up until the xz-plane and yz-plane is supposed to be solid.

"Trimming" and "boundary fill" options have not worked as desired.

Would you have a solution in mind?
Any help appreciated.

Do you mean the finished model is to be thickened, given wall thickness?

or more likely, a solid that would be produced if the windows and lights were filled?

For the second option, you would likely make a copy, and include the windows and lights, Patch the wheel arches, stitch them all together.

Then you can Boundary fill the cavity.

My thoughts might help....
