Well it obviously help to have your edges at 90 degrees, which you do not.
In general, anyone making panels should learn about four way clamps. I have 3 and have used them to make about 8 panels over the past few years and I can't imagine why I'd ever go back. They push the tops and sides at the same time, making racking impossible.
When you order them, you just get the hardware and then you split a 2x4 to attach the strips to. Here's a guy who can explain it better.a
E 4 protip: wax the wood parts with paste wax; it makes cleaning the glue off very easy.

I haven't seen one that uses metal for the top+bottom rails in a long time. I don't think they sell them anymore.

You might want to combine that with a glue with a longer open time. I typically use titebond 2, but titebond 3 (in addition to being waterproof once it cures) has a much longer time before it starts to set. Helpful for large glueups like this.
Also, consider getting some cheap panel clamps to squeeze them together and help keep them flat, all at once.
Ah gotcha - makes sense. Imagine it's got to be quite a bit faster & gives a bit more even pressure that way. Actually, a C-Clamp would probably be better/easier to work with & modify for that purpose then.
Also - the type of thread is apparently called "ACME". Took me forever to find out what they called it. Have to assume there is a way to buy an acme rod with a hex head & matching bolt.
Aaaand last edit. I'm looking into doing this myself so figured I'd just add what I find in here as well. This seems like it'd be even better than the c-clamp since it's got attachment points built in to the nut - wouldn't even need to use the welded screw method. Or, for the lazy ones of us out there - there's of course this
These are commercially available. I bought the kit below and it works well.
