Trouble with the Shell command: "The body could not be repaired after..."

I am having some trouble using the shell command on my design. Here is the error message I get when I try to make a 1/8 inch shell on the entire body:

 

"Error: The body could not be repaired after deleting faces. Try changing the selection, or use the Delete tool in the Patch workspace to delete geometry without repairing the gap."

I saw another post about this, but I am new to Fusion 360 and I did not understand their solution.

 

Attatched is the design.

You have details closer together than .25".  Most of these will disappear when you apply the shell, but the lower two horizontal pieces can't be shelled.  I used the split body command to separate them from the main body.ShellBuilding.jpg
