I generally simplify the Athearn hatches, as the "working" feature results in the hinge mounts for the hatch and support being over-size. My method is to slice off the hinge mounts, then "plate-over" the holes with some styrene. I then fashion crude (but unobtrusive) hinges from styrene, with the hatch support bar represented by a piece of suitably-bent brass wire.
I don't have much in the way of reefer pictures here (my home-road ones have all been sold), but there are some HERE. Some of the same cars may also be seen HERE, and a slightly modified reefer can be found HERE.
