I am looking for a left side instrument panel overlay for my 1969 Cessna 150J. I was told that there is a member of the club who can make one for me. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Today 8/28/2022 I finished refurbishing and repairing the overlay. In fact, I completed both the left and the right. As a result, I no longer need another one, so posters can disregard my earlier post looking for an overlay. Thanks to those that responded. I am attaching a photo of my finished product.

Would one from a 77M model work?

Ray.
For the left side You may consider removing the old plastic overlay and clean prime and paint the underlying panel. It turns out pretty nice.
Not as good as a custom made panel but a lot less expensive.
I did have a aluminum overlay made for the right side due to the gauge design. Pic’s below.

Hey Joe, Thanks for the response. That is exactly what I did today. I just put on the last coat of paint a few minutes ago. I still am open to buying another one if I find one. I hope that mine turn out to be as nice as yours....
Thanks again, Ray
