Thank you very much! I see the problem with the inside faces now. I have to get ready for work now, but I just tried it on my original file and I can go to Edit Polygons -> Delete Edge and the face is removed (Del key does not work because it tries to merge), but when I get down to the part shown in my side view screenshot, when I delete it it basically deforms the entire object. I am in the 3D perspective view inside the model deleting them, so I know I am selecting the correct face.

I checked out your attached file and I was able to merge edges fine there, so when I have more time when I get home I will play around with it some more.

Thank you! :bow:

I will post back with my results
