Wayne,
I was in the exact same position 3 years age myself. While it at the welder, you should definitely consider the 1935# weight increase. It gives you the extended baggage and cargo door mod. Maybe the list should be....
1935# gw increase with cargo door (bigger like MCS Mike does)
Left gear seaplane post
lower dogleg
PA-14 cathedral
Float fittings
PA-18 elevator controls under the floor
PA-18 gear fittings
skylight
move the door hinge up for seaplane door(I really like mine) maybe 1 gauge heavier above the door to attach the hinge
enough tabs for your extended baggage floor and new tabs for the regular floor and tabs for your interior panels (Kydex?)
figure out where you want the trim handle so the cables don't run thru the extended baggage
shooter window?
bigger lifting handles on the tail
tabs for metal belly under the tail (you can make it nice so it's not a snow scoop)
Here's some of what I did and other things I wish I would have.
