Cannot connect two hollow objects via loft

Hello,

I have been stuck with this for quite a long time. This is a custom object that I am making and each time I try to loft them together I get the error : "The loft could not be created. Try changing the inputs, swapping profiles for rails or a centerline, or adjusting the continuity conditions."
The file is linked below. Thanks in advance to anyone that can help me.

Sketch1 is not fully defined?

Your geometry is not symmetrical?

Is this really really what you want?

 

Shouldn't this be a simple Sweep Thin Feature rather than Loft?

Do you have photo of something similar that already exists in the real world?

 

Where are your dimensions in Sketch1?

How will these radii be measured in the real world?

I have measured this in the real world for my car. This object cannot be found on the internet, therefore why I am designing it. I may have messed up as it is not simmetrical.

Where are you measurements (dimensions) in the sketch?

Examine the Attached file.

Now, if you really really want to do a Loft, that can be done too, but do as a solid and then Shell.

@TheCADWhisperer 
I will check it out as soon as I get home. I have put a picture in the background to make my first sketch and have then deleted it.

Thank you for all your help.

This is exactly what I wanted to achieve. I will check the dimensions as soon as I can get to my car. Thanks
