I was  wondering
if any benefit could be had by cutting/bending the shelf down to  allow more
airflow to the lower part of the radiator? Has anyone ever  considered this?




Yes I have.  Then I noticed that the mechanical fan  occupies that part of 
the radiator that is below the grill opening.  I  don't think any cooling 
advantage can be gained by doing as you describe as the  overheating issues (if you 
have one) is at idle or at slow speed in which the  fan is doing all the work 
(pulling air) and it is not really affected by air  flow through the grill.  
If you have overheating issues at speed you have  other problems.
