In your case I would just go to your local DMV office and tell them you sanded off the numbers from the frame while getting it ready for paint. WOops! It happens. Then ask them where to go from there. You've had it in the family forever so it just fell out of the system. Tell them the history of it and they will likely ask you to write it down on a form and then visit the local law enforcement that handles the stolen VINs and VIN verifications and what not. It's a good idea to have the breakdown of what the VIN numbers and letters mean. I think it's in the manual somewhere. That way if they have any questions about the original VIN configuration you can provide that. They will likely give you a completely new updated VIN though. I just would have all my ducks in a row to make things go smoothly. It can be done on classic stuff like this.
