I'm sure its just the light, but why does it look more maroon than the candy apple red flake I remember?

Yeah, when they restored and modified it in Australia, they repainted it a darker color and added gold accents to the running boards and headlight bezels, along with adding a starburst-shaped grill attached to the reworked lower front spoiler. The flames are differently shaped from the originals as well. At least they did a proper right hand drive conversion at the time.
Yeah, the side pipes on the Australian car may be illegal, for all I know, especially since they looked like these when they pulled them out of the wrecked car:
I also am not a fan of its modified front spoiler area, but perhaps they were put off by the large open-mouth look, especially since it did not have the other car's spoiler area with the black side panels inside the opening.
Life things have a habit of slowing projects down, just keep pushing along as time permits and you'll get there, it's LOOOOOOKKKKIIIINNNNGGGG GGGGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDDD!
The Ecklers setup on mine is so simple, it has a 1/2” conduit that stands it off the frame rails, then has rod ends inserted in the ends that bolt through a couple of angle plates the bolt to the frame horns.
It’s so 70’s uncomplicated and simple and works perfectly. The conduit is glassed into the underside of the hood. I have adapted hydraulic rams to the conduit to open and close it.
Excuse the dust
There is a spreader bar from one side to the other.
