How to design with more than 1 angle? Scan file - Fusion

Good afternoon, I've been using fusion for a few years but have always struggled with designing with more than 1 angle. In this particular scenario, I am trying to reverse engineer my tailgate handle for my truck. I have a scan of the part I want and trying to replicate it. 

The main issue I am having is that the face plate has a curve going in 2 directions and I can't find an obvious and clean way of shaping it. I have recently been trying to learn 'Form' and using the surface tools but I am still new to this. Has anyone found an obvious way to which I have missed that I could do this please?

I believe I have poorly explained this, so apologies for this. I will attach the scan and my 'best' attempt so far but it's still by no means suitable for my needs.

My computer can't handle the prismatic mesh conversion so I need to be able to re-draw it. 

 

Thank you, I look forward to potentially learning some new ways of doing this, or re-educating myself with something that i may have overlooked.

Hi

This geometry contains several "individual" segments that can be easily surface modeled using the Loft tool based on several sketches and then thickened at the end.

Use Surfaces, model Outside > In where practicable,

I would consider modelling half before a Mirror body, at the end.

 

Extrude your curve in sketch 2 > Symmetric.

Trimmed with a new sketch outline for the top face,

Simple Sweep around the outline will get you going.

 

Might help...
