If the model does not need to be too detailed, it’s better to fake it with a bump map material (more technically a normal map)

Otherwise, you’ll just have to model them by hand.

brender,

I think the modeling technique you might be interested in is discussed in issue #8 of BlenderArt magazine. The issue is devoted to car modeling, but at least one article describes creating mating body panels - not to unlike what you are trying to achieve.
