Have you thought about a bonded title? That is what I had to do here in AZ when transferred from MN to here with a clear title and registration on the vehicle there and the AZ Inspector could not find the frame serial number as had been covered up with paint during the restoration, but the motor serial number matched the title. I did see the frame number before was stripped and painted. Did not mask off the serial number on the frame so could be read. If had to do again would have re-stamped the serial number so would have been more readable.
