Best ways to strip the paint off ?
I haven't done a car in years, so I want to make sure I'm sending things off to the right places.
Any other services that you guys use that you have had good luck with please let me know. Thanks
I live in Painesville Ohio but willing to travel for things or ship.

The quality you want and the budget you have are hugely important to an answer.
Best chrome plating I've ever experienced was Ogden Chrome (Ogden, UT): it's expensive, but flawless, about a 2-month timeframe.
Machine shop, I've usually found a Mopar specialist or race-engine guy not too far from me; that said, I did have a highly-regarded guy in SoCal build me one great $7500 engine and years later one $10,000 grenade whose post-mortem showed horrible work...
Upholstery, should be someone not far from you who does high-end or at least high-quality work; check around at car shows & such.
Paint stripping depends on what you have, what you can do yourself...I've had cars dipped, media-blasted, sanded them or chem-stripped them myself...
Fasteners & strikers I've sent to Eric Manuel (member 3404): great work, reasonable & timely. He can re-plate latches, but if you want OEM/Mopar Nats-level with the differing finishes, there are a couple guys here whose names I can't recall.
Carbs, send to member Scott Smith_Harms for perfection, but I don't know how much $$$.
Hope this helps; I'm sure there'll be other answers & souce info as well.

what paint stripping method worked the best for a final product?
thanks for your answers. getting all my vendors in place and start with these restorations.

do not soda blast body or sand blast. use media or chem strip or acid tank for 100% strip and derust

The dip tank method worked best for removing everything on the exterior & interior sides. For a body shell, it's pretty expensive and few guys have big tanks.
If you're only doing exterior surfaces, it's kind of a choice between the relative downsides:
Media takes a while to blow out of every nook & cranny & crevice, and someone who's not careful might warp a panel depending on what media is used. My paint rep advises against soda (negatively affects adhesion).
Chemical paint stripper is nasty, toxic, messy stuff, but the mess is easier using plastic tarps.
Mechanical (sanding) is dusty, requires a little care, and some contours (flanges, for example) are difficult to access & strip completely. It's probably the easiest & least expensive to do, though.
