Lemme try:

Frame with gathered parts and body on dolly.


Dennis Berube motor with Powerglide next to Warp11HV with Muncie M20 4 speed.


3x2x0.120 box steel sub-frame and Dennis Berube Motor.
Side -

Front -


What I did:
- Ctrl-click on the links to open them in a new tab
- Go to that tab
- Right-click on the image
- Select the 'Open link in a new tab' option
- Go to that tab
- Right-click on the image in the new tab
- Select 'Copy image address' or 'Copy image URL' (mine is Dutch so that wouldn't help you)
- Go to the EcoModder message edit box
- Click in the Image icon ( which is the yellowish rectangle with two small greyish mountains or pyramids and a blob in the upper right corner)
- Paste the copied address/URL in the picture address selection box.
- Preview, correct, repeat etc.

Explanation:
Somehow these image services like Googles put the picture in a frame construct that does not let you copy the image URL directly.
However, by forcing the site to open the picture on a new tab all the code that overlays the actual picture gets stripped and you get the real deal.
I used Chrome btw.

You can use this trick also when you suspect a picture has changed, but buffering prevents you from getting to it. Open in a new tab, Ctrl-F5, new unbuffered image.
There's a cartoon site that uses the same image URLs every week. I need this quite often

HTH and keep up the good work!
Cheers,
Bart
