The rear caliper looks good on there. If you go with a v-brake for the front, remember that the brake levers differ for those two types. The pull ratio isn't the same on the brakes, so you need v-brake compatible ones for the v-brakes. To stay older skool, if you have another front caliper, use that.

I got the rear brake mocked up pretty solid.

I was a little surprised…. The factory fender mount hole wasn’t on center!

But…. I think it’ll work ok:

The front…. In theory it could work.

Like the video showed…. The thread pitch on my attachment hardware doesn’t match up.

I tried to retap with a set I had here. I can get about 2 full turns and it locks up…. I don’t want to strip it out.

So, gonna have to think on the front brake.

If you find that those gray pads don't grip well on those chrome rims, take a light grade sand paper to the pad surface to take the 'glaze' off.

I've also had good luck with the salmon colored pads as they have a softer durometer and tend to grip well.
