You never know what-or who-you’ll run into In the Aisles. In this episode, Derek from Vice Grip Garage talks with “DirtHead” Dave Chappelle, from the KZbin channel DirtHead Shed. Hear Dave talk about how he found his way into fabrication, why he loves the O’Reilly paint aisle, and how he sabotaged his own vehicle as a teenager so he could land his first pickup. Also, what do yoga and spaghetti noodles have to do with anything?

[@thedirtheadshed]

Thanks for having me on the show!!

[@brinleynicholson4588]

Stay cool Dave!

[@Littlehotrodshop]

Dave, I am originally from where you currently live and I'm working on moving back. It always had a solid car scene, lots to explore and every old car hasn't returned to the earth. Ps good interview.

[@mattcsaunders]

Christmas music FTW!! We do the same thing! Starts as early as January. 🤣 It’s hard to have a bad day whilst listening to Nat King Cole Christmas. #dirtheadshed #vicegripgarage

[@kerrylewis2581]

Appreciate you taking the time to let us get to know you and your passions. Great interview

[@Fix_It_Again_Tony]

I saw you and Derek in the same thumbnail and knew instantly how I was going to spend the next 30 minutes of my life.

[@vaughanlancellas495]

Jokes aside, everything Derek puts out there is worth the watch and I mean everything. He deserves all the accolades and the credit he gets, seriously doubt if there is a harder working individual out there on the old interweb.

[@bodarville2510]

Agree fully. However, Derek has wrecked the curve for how much time a guy is allowed to kick back in a recliner.

[@TheBigcatrider]

I agree 100%

[@Hanky_Bannist8r]

Dave is one of the best fabricators out there currently he doesn't get the credit he deserves.

[@christophertaylor9100]

Yeah he's a fab king, but he's so low key he doesn't get hype

[@adamchaffee6536]

Having enjoyed both of your work separately it's been so fun watching you two strike up a creative friendship. Here's to much more fun and many adventures!

[@feelslikefar50]

Two of my favorite people on the internet. I logged in just to say that and to give O'Reilly the thumbs up to keep this series of videos with Derick going.

[@josieh3766]

LOVED the line at about 10:35 - Dave: "You try and buy it something nice once a year so that it sparks your interest again..." 🤣 This is all too true!

[@JCWren]

I like how Dave basically takes over about 2/3's of the way through :) Definitely enjoy his Dirthead Shed channel.

[@TheKISSArmyGeneralGarage]

Thanks for doing this one with Dave!! I enjoyed meeting both you guys at #DuctTapeDrags !! You were both delightful!!

[@jeffanderson6217]

Two of the best automotive personalities out there! I hope Dave gets another mainstream show, he always comes across as genuine and humorous.

[@adammaas7828]

My two favorite car guys to follow on the interwebs. Great content.

[@phill0406]

It’s so awesome to get to see Dave do more frame fabrications on his channel versus the dirt every day stuff. Incredibly talented dude.

[@DankoStojanovic]

When O'Reilly and Revzilla produce the best content! What a world we live in. Keep it up, guys.

[@scottgardner6542]

Glad you got Dave on here!

[@Skroggn]

Dave is by far my favorite car guy to watch. Motor Trend was dumb to let him go. His channel needs more love.

[@BurdaneGillette]

I was an old school dirt every day fan back when hen it was on KZbin before motor trend and now I follow him on the dirt head shed it is amazing what this guy is capable of. Both of you are inspiring people to get out and just start working. Thanks

[@mikepoint4717]

“Thats what drag cars do” 😂😂

[@alexbrown6556]

gotta do one of these with Mortske Repair

[@mattfarahsmillionmilelexus]

I also dig the paint aisle. I pick up a can of Duplicolor semigloss black every time I'm there, because that's the color you use most building cars. Dirt Every Day needs to make a comeback, it was one of MT's best. Those two guys were so fun.

[@tiedyedkarma]

Dave seems so down to earth and friendly, Love this guy!

[@GregLanz]

I really miss Dirt Every Day. Dave is kind of reserved but so talented and skilled and relatable

[@jasonfitch7977]

"You buy it something nice once a year" really hit home...

[@dogpotter]

Thanks to all for putting up the content. I really enjoy watching both Derek and Dirthead Dave. glad to see you both

[@viperfritz4618]

I've been waiting a long time for this, thank you!

[@robertvandervelden5917]

Awesome ep. Love the laid back approach

[@AK-DIRECT907]

No.# 1 Tool. Hands on Education. I took auto body after school for 2 years. Got credit for it. And help get a job after high school

[@granitesand78]

Best episode yet. Awesome

[@jamesola7968]

Best one yet

[@nicholasarmour-xc5et]

Great episode... genuine lol quite a few times

[@squarebody8866]

As always Dave is all around great! Awesome dude!

[@Jsaul32]

Always get a kick out of Derek and Dave working together. Hope to see them team up more in the future!

[@richmc5693]

been waiting on this one!

[@roddueck8803]

Thanks Gents, great episode.

[@jonhill9564]

Great episode of Roadworthy! Hope to see more of guys working together.

[@user-vw3sd3vb7w]

The best podcast I've ever seen big Fan of both these guys just cool to see two car guys just bull shitting love it

[@brianboys9015]

That was great. Nice to have the ambiance of a race meeting. Cool dudes.

[@dailydouble2286]

Amazing episode. I wish MotorTrend could figure out how to get Chappelle on more shows. His ability to knuckle up on complex fab jobs with time constraints is so impressive.

[@richardharvey8939]

Great show 🎉

[@Jmeister23]

Such a great show as always, I’ve always wanted to see “Alex Taylor” on an episode of in the aisles i think it would be awesome to hear her racing and gear head stories and just shoot the breeze with Derick, that would make for a great episode 👍

[@A.D.DGarage]

Man I can't believe I didn't see this sooner. Dave please don't catch the track on fire. Do it when leaving. The rest of Tucson is eh. My mother had a 92 Nissan Sentra. It was the only car I totaled come to think of it. Excellent interview Derek. I don't watch many podcasts. I never knew you were doing cafe racers. I will bring more fuel next year!

[@russ1046]

48 gasser collaboration - yes please!

[@ford_drivingbuilder4225]

the best Dave Chapelle if you ask me. great interview.

[@roadkill-uk]

o reilly need to give these two a show

[@shanewright6958]

Another good one 👍👍

[@dougkinney4521]

Great interview.

[@kerrylewis2581]

Another great show with interesting, talented personalities. Keep them coming. I'm heading to O'Reilly Auto Parts to pick up a battery for my 16 F150 5.0

[@jasonscharf97tj]

Good job guys!

[@keithmcdaniels1632]

I will never again be embarrassed about listening to Christmas music all year around!

[@tonykemper8896]

just subscribed to Daves KZbin! awesome dude and super talented.

[@robertsteele667]

I think it would be cool to see Dave and Derek on a off road channel and bring back Fred

[@scottr9900]

Great show! Gotta get Lucky on too.

[@FuhQ64]

Dave Built a patina 64-66 F100 that inspired me to build my own in the mid 2000's. Saw in a magazine. I believe his shop was called The Lowering Block back then?

[@samuelcookphippen]

Awesomeness

[@bodarville2510]

Sometimes plays Christmas music out of season. Thanks guys for making another guy feel normal!! Or, we’re all off a bit!

[@kevinpitts2999]

Dave has such a Jessie James vibe. Very cool!

[@MuddyFarmer75]

Love Hobart welders what I learned on and works so well

[@luvtruckin4x4]

Two of my favorite car people.

[@stevenraymer6682]

Man awesome content

[@markstandish314]

Dirthead Dave is awesome

[@wijibo6772]

A feller can't wait.

[@diysecuritygear9594]

I'd seriously watch Derek eat macaroni and cheese saying shiny to shop lion. It's not strange yet cats like him! Even at demo ranch the cat says hi! You're huge!

[@philip4x4guy]

Yay dave!

[@AllAmericanProClean]

Derek should do one of these interviews with Ike and John from cars and cameras. That would be neat.

[@gregorybarth930]

I just don't know where this feller finds the time. Great work Derek, and thanks O Reilly for sponsoring these. Wish I had half the talent of either of these guys.

[@OneTwo-wt8qv]

@thedirtheadshed is bringing cool back to the MUSTANG II .. with bags and a shave .. very cool !!

[@chrisgramza8582]

Yet another awesome episode with two great fellers. I want to meet up with you both at a show sometime. Wish I wouldn't have missed the Duct Tape this year. Maybe next year....

[@Robert_Hall90]

Derek please please please do more motorcycle stuff!!

[@shoopsgarcia1283]

Don't know him.... But love this guy!!! Love VGG..2

[@just4guitar558]

16:58 “I was country, when country wasn’t cool.” Barbara Mandrell

[@user-ov9rj6ze7v]

I agree always start with the power under the hood. Everything falls in the order after you get the inspiration of the fuel burning.

[@Cockeyed_Den8213]

I was country when country wasn't cool was Barbara Mandrell. Another great interview keep them coming.

[@ricksshop]

Love the conversation about Escorts. When they were introduced in the early '80's, they were actually light sporty compacts that were fun to drive, but gained bloat over the years as most models do. The CVH engines had character. An early '80's Escort with a 2.0 SPI swap would be cool. The "egg shaped" Escorts of the '90's were due to Mazda's influence on the design, a hybrid of the previous generation Escort and the Mazda Protege.

[@mratliffjr0001]

Hey, O'Reilly... any chance you would foot the bill to revive Dirt Every Day (or something similar) with Dave and Fred? I really miss it.

[@kevbev1524]

The Kings of Rattle cans become one, Wonder twins power's..... ACTIVATE 💥💥

[@christinar7864]

Mortske Repair please!!!

[@jackgreen1737]

Great interview. Barbara Mandrell was country before country was cool...

[@bradinch1563]

two cool guys

[@user-ov9rj6ze7v]

😂 I do the Xmas music to . In the summer and I’m having a bad day . I’ll have Rudolph the red nose reindeer, or some blue blue Christmas from Elvis. Then when I’m in a good mood, I’ll be listening to some old slayer or Pantera

[@stephenzettler1259]

I think that you guys need to do one with @sleeperdude since they are right there in Tennessee and have not done anything together I think that would be a hoot of a episode

[@boheeka77]

Dave, check out Williams Lake

[@sykwookiee]

Talk to the guys at Grind Hard Plumbing about trails up that way, Dave...

[@user-cj2ce3kj7t]

You should interview Sarah-n-tune

[@TheGraytOutdoors]

Daves an awesome Dude!! Let’s see a Gasser collaboration build!! That would be an awesome episode!! “Run Rudolph Run”!! Chuck Berry, guaranteed to make you smile and dance around!!

[@richardharvey8939]

I was Country when country wasn’t cool was Barbara Mandrell with a verse including George Jones.

[@semiruinedfabrication5993]

Barbara Mandrell sang I was country when country wasn’t cool

[@jonhill9564]

Support

[@jmaxx88shsu]

Texas Country!!

[@mh-qq2hj]

I want to see Derek and Dave working together on something! I also want to see Dave in the unlimited class at king of the hammers if anyone who’s loaded is reading this!

[@kellyrylance217]

It's a miner's wrench 🔧 lol

[@imm0rtal420]

[@br549200]

[@throttlewatch4614]

Merlin Johnson from Merlin’s old school garage would be a great interview

[@ChaoticDetour]
