Not sure what kind of welding your dad was planning on using, but I have been told to stay away from tig welding and whatever you do, be sure to remove both battery cables to keep from frying the car's computer. Now, these may just be old wives tales (nothing against old wives) but I thought I would mention them. Hopefully someone with more accurate information/experience will speak up. Mine were professionally mig welded and they did not have to do anything to the carpet.

You should have them mig welded and you will have no problems. You do not need to pull the carpet just pay attention when you are installing them and you should be fine.

bump for the deadly. As far as mig welding is concerned, how much current is required to heat the subframe? Would a 110amp 120v mig be sufficient?
