Eletrical issues

My 79 Corvette has an eletrical problem, the owner before me says everything worked when he shipped it. Well when I received it all that is working is the dome light, key binger. The headlights, tail lights, radio, power windows, gauges and heater motor do not work. Ive read some of the forum here and it keeps talking about ground wires. This seems like a lot of issues for fuse box and breakers. Let me know what you think, thanks
