Ye Old Huff-n-Puff still sells wood reefer kits which could serve as core kits. 
'S'cenery Unlimited may still stock the basic roof, floor and end blocks, I 
don't have a current catalog to check.

I think it's the same Ebay seller offering boxcar sides; some of which are 
clearly scans of old Athearn "Blue Box" HO cars enlarged to S, including the 
big door tracks and claws.
