If some of those are reefers, I hope you're planning on cutting down
the dimensions before you assemble them, as the SS reefers were WAY
oversize, especially in height (but length, too, IIRC). My experience
(now many years ago) is that you could usually keep the lettering on
the sides approximately in the right location by trimming them very
carefully to fit a car body that was appropriately reduced to scale
size.
