Ok- I spent yesterday (Sunday) putting a new window regulator and all new weatherstripping on the PS door of my '67. I go to start it up to run an errand and she runs fine, but I have no radio, turn signals, heater motor or wipers. I do have headlights, taillights, brake lights and dash lights/gauges. I checked the main power feed block on the fender- I'm getting full 12v. I double checked the various grounds and they are tight.
Any thoughts on why I'd lose 1/2 of my accessories and where I might look for the issue?

tight grounds are really of little good unless the 2metal surfaces are clean and shiney

I'd be inclined to check your ignition switch.

Under the dash, check the big horseshoe connector ("C" shaped connector). I would reseat it to make sure the connectors get rewiped.

Also, as was mentioned check the ingition sw wires and all grounding points.
