It has been a long time since I did my tailcone, but with some help I was able to back rivet the radius of the side skins. I bucked the top. I just stared at one end (can't remember front or back) and riveted the radius starting from the bottom and working my way around to the side. When the radius was done, I went to the next bulkhead before doing the side skins. It can be done, but I don't recall it being any easier in the radius that it would have been bucking, and I still needed help to hold the tailcone while I riveted.

Don't remember the order I did it, but it was consistent with the plans.
Everything was back riveted for me with the exception of the extreme aft tail cone where it became too narrow to fit the rivet gun into.
However instead of using a back rivet plate, we back riveted against a bucking bar. Moving the bucking bar around from rivet to rivet was much easier than rolling the tail cone around on a table.
The wife helped me out with running the bucking bar while I shot them from the inside with my Avery 3x Rivet Gun that fits my hand perfectly and has given me years of trouble-free service. :p

That is exactly how Mary and I riveted our tailcone.

In addition to all of the above, you can back rivet the J-channel stiffeners to the top skin before clecoing the skin to the bulkheads. Just leave out the rivets where the stiffeners cross a bulkhead. Saves a lot of riveting inside the tailcone. I back riveted all but about a dozen rivets in the narrowest part of the cone by myself, using a couple of pillows to position the cone against the rivet plate.

Rivet the stiffeners to the top skin by back riveting before
installing on the bulkheads, then just slide into place. It would be
difficult to do any other way. It would be tough to backrivet the
radius between bottom and side skins.
