All bandsaws have something called drift. you have to account for the drift when cutting with a bandsaw. Go Very slow. use a template and then use a router to clean it up.

good

otherwise, your holesaw can get you started then maybe connect it up by cutting the rest with a handsaw, do you own a handsaw? nobody seems to use handtools anymore, they work well, plenty of control and simple. It's not hard to follow a line with a good sharp handsaw, the kind your grandfather used to use. If not maybe start it with a circular saw and connect to the hole the rest of the way with the handsaw or jigsaw. What you are doing there, you should own a Bosch jigsaw anyway, I have 3 of them. good luck Mike that is about the simplest part of your rebuild
