Jesus, he's lucky to be alive. I personally would call a local notary or the DMV (whoever you visit in your state to transfer a title) and ask them. They can give you the best answer since their the one's who are going to file the paperwork. As for getting rid of the old chassis, try a couple of local junkyards and see if they'll take it to crush?
