ABSTRACT:
End portions of first and second panel plates to be joined together are displaced toward the inside and outside of the panel, respectively, by an amount substantially equal to the thickness of the panel plates adjacent a seam to be formed, whereupon, with a plate piece of a similar thickness being applied to the inside of said first panel plate adjacent its displaced end portion, transient portions of said first and second panel plates between their basic portions and displaced end portions as well as said plate piece are welded together by spot-welding, the displaced end portions of said second panel plate being thereafter substantially removed by grinding.
