Don't see how a bad starter relay would kill power to the entire car.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

Battery cables loose or dirty on one end or the other. Check the cables at the starter relay and starter also. ... and the ground(s).

What Nanket said & if good in that large cable system then next time it goes dead see if you have fire at the alt "batt" stud & you might seperate/check/clean the bulkhead and check the ammeter terminals in that path. For it to be completely dead there would need to be an open between the batt positive post to/thru the bulkhead & to/thru the ammeter to the "welded splice". Bulkhead/ammeter are culprits & with it going completely open/dead you'll easily see it (poor/loose connection/terminal) with some checking

Thanks for the help guys - long story short it was a bad ground. The Block/Body cable had corroded in half! Replaced that and cleaned up the battery/block connection and all is well again.
