what are you stuck on? rebuilding the curves? Once you've rebuilt a curve, it won't change if it's already straight. I haven't done that tutorial, but it looks like you didn't use enough points when you built the profile curves.

If you're just trying to build a surface from all of the curves, you could select them one by one in order and loft them (under surfaces).

what tutorial is that? - it looks interesting.

you might have them hidden - try looking under the show menu in your view window and see if curves are unchecked. you could also select them in the hypergraph and backclick and choose show.....i think.
