cutting masnoite

I am attempting to "remanufacture" four of the interior panels in the TR3
and purchased a sheet of 1/8" masonite for the base.  Every time I try to
cut it with the reciprocating saw or the sawzall it either rips or the edge
"balls up" and makes a sloppy cut.

Does anyone have a good suggestion to make these cuts, particularly the
curves.  I seem to get a nice cut with a circular saw and a very thin blade,
but this will not work on the curves.

TIA
