I have reworked several Golden Gate cars. They ran the wiring between the bottom of the car and the plastic floor that holds the furniture, looks like your car is the sme way. I ran the wiring under the car itself, along the center beam etc. That allowed me to drop the plastic floor down to the metal car bottom. The car I was using had plastic "stand offs" cast under the plastic floor so they had to go . Fortunately, the Golden gate furniture was high enough to handle most smaller frame figures. There are some 1/50 scale plastic sitting figures on ebay and them being a little smaller helps. Golden gate had undersized figures in there but they were crude and discarded. I think your idea of building up the base of each seat is the way to go. The dome floor was a challenge. I think I dropped it a fraction lower than they had it and I have a shallow LED strip son the center beam of the dome. At least Atlas gave you the steps...I hope you can use them. I had to fabricate mine....but I can hardly see them once I had the car back together.
