Here is an excerpt from his blog:

"""""""they were transformed into a surface using the Loft command. It was necessary to use the Loft option Loose to generate a relaxed surface. One of the most tricky parts of the whole modelling process however was a clean definition of the guide curves as the resulting surface, as kinks and unequal control points had to be avoided in the guide curves. Lofting the curves together it is very recommendable to use the same number of control points in the guide curves. In order to achieve that the Rebuild command was used to equally spread and define the number of the control points along the guide curves. If the car body surface is not clean, this will generate many problems in the further modelling steps, as cut out surfaces and other constructions will tightly rely on the main car body surface."""""""""

The "half of the body" is doen the center of your red curves. Lools like you ate trying to do a "top half, bottom half", when it should be a left/right split.

im sorry I just do not understand. I mirrored the curves yes but I did try doing it with half and that didn't work.

if you follow the curve guides more accurately they seem to go like this somehow.
the lower curves seem to converge at the back.

Hi mrjynx, often times it's difficult to try and build a shape that goes through significant shape changes all in just one single loft.

But also in your case here the 2nd to last profile also kind of sticks out a ways more than the other ones, that will tend to make a kind of swoop in the shape like you're seeing.

Here's a view of your curves from the top to show the one that sticks out beyond the other shapes you're lofting with:

I think I figured it out. it is possible to do the loft with the lines curving around the back. that's what I couldn't get my head around.
