    Kids in the back seat may cause accidents, accidents in the back seat may cause kids, so no back seat, no accidents...!

If bomber seats are your choice and channeling is not in your plan seems to me you are left with making a "box" about 8" high, smoothing the corners and edges, and carpeting it, then use the risers that 406Rich suggests; or just make your box 12" and mount direct. Do you need front to back adjustment for driver's of different height? Maybe a different style seat that has more section height in the bottom would be a better choice? Like buckets out of a mid-60's muscle car or t-bird or ??? I think it is going to be hard to get the right "look" with bomber style seats, given the seat height criteria you have outlined, but that is just my $0.02 and seat selection is a personal thing.
