Im having trouble making a shell out of my current model. The one area that is giving me a problem is the top portion. Is there a better way or proper way to complete my shell?

What do you perceive the problem to be? Unless I'm missing something, your shell appeared to work fine. Wall thickness appeared to be correct and the faces you selected to be removed were removed.
The top surface needs to be removed, when i select it in the shell command I get an error.
I'd say it's the intersection of the fillets that's causing your problem. Depending on you design intent, you could create a sketch on the inside face of the top surface, convert entities and cut it out.
You might also look at reordering/sizing your fillets to get a smoother transition.
This will ultimately be a sheet metal part. I was hoping to keep the material thickness on the top 2 radii.
Are you hoping to convert to sheet metal? If so, those radii are going to cause you problems as they'd need to be formed and the convert tool will probably not be happy with them. You might be better off starting over, creating it as a sheet metal part.
