What is the best/proper way to restore them? OR who do you recommend restore them?

The natural finish '69-70s can be restored by a process called vapor blasting. One of the sites has a poster that does it and the look is phenominal. I'll try and find it unless someone posts a link before me.

Here's a picture of an unrestored CJ valve cover with the end vapor blasted so you can see a comparison.
