Part too complex, still needs to be edited

I'm making a hood side grill and it seems my part has gotten too complex. Fusion is taking a very long time to load/edit features. I realize there are unused sketches, etc. but this was kind of a trial and error process to fit the existing hood side.

 

Fusion won't allow me to connect the bodies or get rid of extra "material" because of boolean errors so I had to do some of the sweeps in steps and through sketches. 

 

Anyway, I'd like to keep editing this part, as I still need to put the opening in the part so it can actually be a grill. Engine needs airflow, as its a hemi inside of a 1929 chrysler sedan. What should I do? I can't keep waiting 2-3 hours every time I click on a feature or edit something.

 

I was thinking that maybe I should export as an stl and then open that and convert back to a solid, but I would loose some needed baseline geometry. Fairly knew to fusion.

I recommend starting over from scratch using what was learned from this attempt.

Fully define your sketches.
