1977 Vette, Shorted battery, no power now

My friend was replacing the battery in his 77 and dropped the wrench across the posts causing lots of sparkage. Now he has no power to anything. Any ideas where to start looking? Maybe a fuse or fuse link?

OK, maybe its not just a Vette thing. Any ideas in general?

Start pulling all the fuses. Hopefully it has enough in the right places.
I've done this myself and it only popped the main fuse.
Fortunately there are not a lot of things in an old vette that could be damaged.
