Instead of cutting the rear shelf you might consider installing an aftermarket or a Miata seat. Many years ago before new Sunbeam covers became available I installed seats from a TR7 in one car and aftermarket seats for a Mini Cooper in another. Seats that don’t recline are thinner. The cost is about the same as rebulding and recovering your Sunbeam seats and you don’t have to cut the body.
