All – I’m convinced now that I need a pneumatic squeezer (thanks a lot Dave Leikam…).
Any of you that are done want to part with yours??? If not, I’ll call Avery or Cleveland Tool.
Also, there was some discussion a few weeks ago about how to rivet the tail cone skins without wrinkles.
Does anyone know what mushroom set was suggested for this? I seem to remember the Cleveland set with rubber guard (not the swivel).

Re the tail skins. The key for me so far is to backrivet as much as
possible. I've been using a 12" X 30" X 3/8" steel plate (it doesn't
have to be polished or milled flat) along with several pieces of 3/8"
packing box plywood. I found that the Cleaveland backrivet set does a
*much* better job than the ATS set I started with (see below) The long
backrivet set along with a short one helps a lot too. Almost ever rivet
forward of the 2 rearmost bulkheads can be back riveted. I haven't done
the top skin yet.
I plan to use the backrivet set and the backrivet bucking bar from
Cleaveland for the top skin - but I'm looking for other advice here.
From my previous post on backrivet sets:
I've been using the backrivet set from ATS and getting acceptable
results. However, I recently had my first opportunity to use a 12" long
backrivet from Cleaveland and discovered that it was easier to get good
results.
The ATS has a thick plastic collar that I had to grind a flat spot on in
order to get squarely on the J stiffener rivets. I've hit it twice more
with the grinder to ease access on other rivets.
The ATS also has a convex face on the set. I found that unless the set
was well centered and straight, it was easy to get tilted, concave shop
heads.
The Cleaveland 12" tool (or whoever's tool they distribute) has a thin
plastic collar and I found it fit the J stiffeners very nicely. The face
of the set is flatter and it's easier to get square, flat shop heads. I
just ordered their normal length backrivet set and understand it is
setup the same as the 12".

Call the yardstore (www.yardstore.com) as they sell good quality *used* pneumatic squeezers and they stand behind what they sell.

Mike,
I use the mushroom set with rubber guard that you are referring to. At first I didn't like it because the rubber was to thick and the rivet popped out a little bit. I ended up trimming down the rubber and it works great now. Much easier to do single-person riveting with the rubber "holding" the rivet gun in place. Prior to doing that I had sworn off single-person riveting with a bucking bar. I have not used the swivel one so I can't comment on that.

Try ebay for the pneumatic squeezer.
Use this for the search string, including the brackets.
(squeezer,squeazer,squeezers,squeazers,squeeze,squeaze) (rivet, rivit)
They are tough to find, but you may get lucky. Nothing on ebay now
unless you are looking for a Tatco hand squeezer.
