ok... i'm about to look around at some local truck / car scrap places for some air horns off a dump truck or something... and i was wanting to put 2 under my hood and then buy one of those little plastic air horn sets from like auto zone and take the pump out of it and bolt it to a little tank and let it pump up the tank then let the tank hit the horns... i just need some help to tell me how to connect all this stuff, such as the pump pumping up the tank and just a switch to turn the pump on and off?

You can get a 12v solenoid valve at a truck stop that sells truck accessories. Plum it in the air line and run wires from fuse box to a switch to turn it on and you are set. I have a set of train horns on my Kenworth, They sound cool.

that or you can get the air valve from a big truck thats the one hooked to the cable on the ceiling with them you can feather the sound.
