I'm trying to make a complex curved engine cowl, what tool should I use?

Good day,
I'm trying to create an engine cowl with somewhat complex curves for an R/C model. Here is the base extruded where I want it to be solid on the bottom. The oval and circle extrusions are where I want the cowl to end and the sketch lines are the approximate profile I would like the general shape to be. Is there an easy way to accomplish this task?

@alpal_cole, this is definitely possible, however it will require Loft, Boolean, and perhaps Shell or Thicken depending on the approach you take. Other approaches could involve Fill or Boundary surface.
Loft is a more advanced tool especially with the blended shape you are going for, but we will help you through it. Please share a link to your document so that we can help you with your exact needs.
