Oh, man. I should have kept notes and written a book...:)
Really, there are not many things. My specialty is gear leg drilling (I did it 3 times)!
I would not recommend doing it per the plans. I'll start a thread on that.
Some things I just paid a bit more attention to detail, like flush riveting in places there a smooth surface may look good, I did fill in my flush wing leading edge rivets with fiberglass filler for a smooth look. Little stuff like that.
If you are ever in doubt about things not really clear in the plans (such as component placement on the firewall) just ask and we'll see what I came up with.
Other than the tailwheel dragging because of low clearance I have had 200+ hours of trouble-free operation. I'm about to address the tailwheel problem and I'll get back with everyone on that...
