Bring all the 0V lines to one point on the case then ground that point. Note the difference between "ground" and 0V

To help pad the 2 boards so a ground loop won't be created you could use a 600:600 ohm transformer. This allows the signal to pass from one board to the other without the grounds physically touching and creating the ground loop.
