Made some good progress today with the front. The driver side front is mocked up and the Chicane mount is welded in. Everything was actually very easy to put in. I was nervous using the angle grinder to cut out the spring pocket but I found it was actually very easy when I did it from the bottom up.

One issue I ran in to is the bolts for the Caliper mounts are not exactly right. I thought they were 1/2" bolts and the threaded in just fine. Unfortunely looking at the thread after mocking them up it seems the 1/2" bolt is a little off. I'm going to head over to the GM dealer tomorrow and see if I can buy a few from them. The 1/2" bolts were also very lose in the spindle so hopefully the GM bolt fixes that too
