How to rout a curve?

I work for Tiffin Motor Homes in Red Bay, Al. On one of our 2013 models we are making a curved dash with a vacuum system. This dash has two drawers and one cabinet door. My problem is I want to cut the drawer fronts and the door out of the curved mateial leavin space at the top and bottom much like a rail and style look. I want to use my cutouts for the drawer fronts and also the door cutout as my door face. I want to do the cutouts with a router using a 1/8" bit. I have trouble stablizing my router on the curved surface. I would be very grateful for some suggestions.

I suggest that you attach a curved base to the router. Make the curvature match the curve in the dash. This is also a good job for a CNC router.
