Missouri Pacific/Union Pacific 60' Door-and-a-half Boxcar

i have thought about these boxcars for a long time. I don't think they will every hit the production list of a real manufacturer, so I decided to apply some skills learned in assembling some of the Modelers' Choice kits (flat sides, roofs from other kits, etc.). In this case, the roof was carved off of an Atlas 60' boxcar, the underframe is from the same, and the sides and ends are scratchbuilt.
Here's a prototype photo:

Here are some pre-paint photos of the project:
