David:
Are all the electrics in the car still dead? If so, I would try using a jumper cable to "bypass" your battery cables to see where the problem lies. First run a jumper from the negative post on the battery to a solid part of the engine. Then test to see if anything works (try something low draw like the blinkers). If that gives no result, try jumping the positive battery post to the alternator stud on the terminal block (be careful not to ground it or you will get RT's arc welding lesson). These steps will hopefully let you know if the fault lies in the cabling and/or the grounds.
It is always a good idea to clean up all the connections, because electrical connectivity problems are the bane of proper electrical function.
