Not too sure if I can just weld round wire into groove between two and fill with weld or if I should cut ends off and then weld together with small strips of metal???

I am not sure what you mean, posting photos always helps.
But it sounds like you are talking about "splicing" two panels together. If that's the case you can butt weld them, fitting them near perfect and simply weld the seam.
A common way to do it is to do a "butt weld with backing." That's where you butt the panels with a small gap, about 1/8" max, three 32nd or so. You cut a strip of metal that is put behind one of the panels so it sticks out and the other panel will set over it an equal amount. This strip would commonly be an inch or so wide. You drill a few holes in the panel and then set this strip under it and plug weld it to the panel through the holes.

You then put the other part into place and weld down that seam on the outside welding the strip (backing) to both the outer pieces.

Is this what you are after?
