Need help with copying scanned shape

I have a rally screen for my morocycle which I have scanned … but I don't know how to copy it to a functioning shape to make 3d-prints for.
Maybe that was the worst description of a problem but I don't know ^^
The most important features are the holes and the curvature of the middle part, where a replacable screen goes covering the (pretty expensive) lights.
The rest is mostly eye candy and reference for when I have scanned and imported the complete nav tower.
I have seen some surfacing videos from @EvanReese but I can't seem to even get started with something useful!
Anyone have some tips for videos pointing me in the right direction?
Or maybe even a starter for me to finish, I can absolutely do the tedium but I don't know where to start 😐️

Evan's surfacing tools are what you will need.
As far as the right direction:

Thanks, will check out!
Here's the start of a possible workflow. You could work in patches and connect them later to add fillets. There's not going to be a silver bullet for this though. The way to get the cleanest surfaces is to just re-model it using the scan as a visual reference though instead of trying too hard to "convert" the mesh to something usable. It depends on your needs though. Maybe you don't need super clean surfaces as long as it prints and fits.
