Solidworks Rhino has a number of powerful surface modelling features but they are sometimes difficult to use, especially for those just starting out. The following video offers a good introduction to modelling surfaces in solidworks:tools and is far superior to Solidworks for this type of modeling.

More complex curves will be made using a CNC machine while less complex geometry can be made by hand. The surface finish of the model is very important because any imperfections on the model will end up on the final body panels.
