You need to make sure you use the address of the image, not the web page the image is displayed on.

Great! sounds like you have enthusiasm. Can you weld? and spray paint? If not, get a Mig welder and a reactive mask and start practising. The car looks like a good basis for a resto but I expect some welding will be needed.
