He's just welding the floor plates to the floor on either side of the gas tank, directly behind the mid member.
Here's a photo, he's welding in the indicated areas, well to the left and right of the fuel tank.
I think his apprehension was mostly because he thought the fuel tank was made of plastic... I've spoken with him since I sent photos of the tank outside the car as well as with it cut open so you can see the material under the protective coating. Seems like he's gonna go for it without dropping the tank.
