They meet on the lip. Thats why grinder them breaks the seal and they rust worse.
If you can get a *cant remember name* tool it makes a lip on the edge of the pannel, so you over lap them but they sit in the lip so they still lay flat.

Rear seat brackets smoothed (again, welding the rear chassis legs cracked most of it off lol):

Smoothed rear seatbelt holes is hopefully a unique touch:

Started smoothing the slam panel where I welded in new plates. It won't look factory (they have a little drainage hole under where the wing meets it) but it'll look neat:
