You should hit Google images to get an idea of what you want the end result to look like then you can post the image here and we can advise the best method. Surface modelling would be the method I would be looking at but again I am not sure where you are going with the model.

im looking to make panels to fit like that, flush on the frame, so they can be screwed in

A surface model of the front profile would be the easy method but you could also loft along a rail.

I would use the surface tools to create the panels and then thicken to solids.

If you intend to flat pattern then use the Sheet Metal tools.
