Stabilizer complete
I've been too busy building to bother adding posts! Anyways, cut out the skin, drilled, made the front and rear supports, clecoed the skin back on, marked out the front slot and slots for front supports, took the skin off, cut the slots, deburred everything, painted joint areas with primer and riveted the supports (7H2-6 and 7H2-7, I think they are) into place.
Today I put the skin back on (obviously had to cleco the curved side first, in order to slip over the front supports), clecoed it all, then with the assistance of my 2-year old son, riveted it all together. Reasonably happy with the result - as other people have said, the rear edges look a bit ripply - but hell, I'm not building an FA-18 here!
