Planning to start building in spring of 2018

My media kit came in today and I'm basically watching everything on the DVD. In one segment, Powerblock is comparing an original 427 against a built MK4. I found a picture online to illustrate what I'm looking at. What is the divider inside the front grill of the Cobra? If the radiator is filling the entire front end, why the divider?

Called a splitter. I've heard two explanations for it in the originals where you see it occasionally. One was to give better airflow into the radiator and improve cooling. The other was to help push down the nose at high speed. I'm pretty confident it does neither. At least on our builds. But I personally like the look of it vs. the bumper hoop. So have included one in my last two builds. Strictly cosmetic. They were available from Dark Water Customs, but not so easy to get now. This is Mk4 #7750. The new build will be similar. Just not together yet.
