Default No power to dash or ignition....

So I went to pull my car into the garage today, turned the key... nothing happend. I noticed that none of the gauges on the dash seemed to have power... nor did any lights come on when I turn the key forward or back.
Everything else has power.... and the car was running earlier today so it's not something I've done.
The last thing I did on the car was change some pushrods. Also I tried boosting the car and that didnt help, the battery is almost brand new anyways.

Checked the fuses under the hood, all of them seem good so now I'm outa ideas...

Suggestions?

Check power going to the starter bolt as well as leaving it. There should be a fusible link at the starter that if burned open, will kill your power. Check power going to ignition switch. If you have power on the red wire, but not the pink, brown or orange wires with the key on, your ignition switch is defective. If you do find an open fusible link, there is a reason it blew open and that needs to be investigated.
