So I could actually use a hand held jig saw to cut the rough shape then use the router and template?

Yepperz..... Use a drill and spade bit, Jig Saw, Skill saw, whatever it takes to remove the excess lumber.
When you get to the template and routing, just remember to take small "bites" and hold the router tightly. Do not go out and buy a 2inch long bit and try to do the entire depth in one pass....specially with a hand held router.
Take a piece of 3/4 Ply wood, Particle board, whatever, drill a 1 1/2 inch hole in it, and mount the Router base upside down on the bottom. Insert the Router and clamp the ply wood to a work bench edge and you have a makeshift router table, which will make doing the body easier.
