How often do you plan on driving this car?

I may not use it as a daily driver, but I'd like it to be daily drivable in all but snowy, or extremely cold weather. That's going to be a problem. Especially with the 15's, since such a small wheel isn't going to look right (IMO) with a lower profile tire. 15's will require balloons

I suppose I could use one of the all-weather tire options for the 15" wheels, and then have a set of summer tires (the Pirellis perhaps). I think Sumitomo makes one that looks like the correct tire (balloon-like, meaty, high profile). I could also use the Pirelli P6000's. They also look like what they're supposed to on a real '73 RS. At least, from what I can see on this orange car here. I can see that the tire says P6000

I'll look into the Hoosiers too.

Dunlop makes one as well.

A long nose... I guess I ought to say "long-hood" instead, but in 1974, Porsche added impact bumpers that changed the look of the 911. See the front of the orange car up there? The earlier cars without the impact bumpers had longer hoods.

^^This one has the impact bumper and thus, a shorter hood.

More 993 oil cooler pics! 

The radio location on older 911's is perfect for 2 or 3 of these side by side.

Something like this would also be a nice replacement for the factory clock

Like so.....
