ABSTRACT:
A vehicle body has multiple panels adhesively bonded in spaced relationship without direct contact therebetween, the vehicle body constructed by presenting discrete body panels into an assembled position with respect to a single base for application of an adhesive thereon to secure the body panels together. The body panels, which include a pair of body side panels, a roof outer panel, a roof inner panel, and an underbody, have mating flanges along the peripheries thereof angled at between approximately 5.degree. and 15.degree. from a line perpendicular to a surface from which the flanges extend so as to reduce adhesive wipe-off between mating surfaces.
