Jim, it's not uncommon for people to ask if they should do an actual re-weigh or just go with a calculated W&B after work has been done.
The usual answer is to "prepare to lose some useful load." I've not seen a legacy GA aircraft yet that was as skinny as the factory weigh.
BTW, was your bird repainted? Paint is REALLY heavy if put on too thick. Also, I was very surprised how much my carpet and underpad weigh after 40 years of moisture, hydraulic fluid, etc.
