I need a breaker box cover the will fit the existing box, but now
that the wall has been finished the wall is about 1 -1.5" out in front
of the box. Where can I find a box cover that will fit the box but
the flange be in front of the wall ?

Thanks

Sid.

Make a small door that will attach to the finished wall. A piece of
plywood, a latch, and a couple of hinges will do.
The door is just to keep unwanted hands (of kids and uninformed people)
out of the box.

You can't. You can install the existing cover and cover the opening with a
picture or something. The panel should have been moved out prior the
finishing the walls, and a flush cover ordered for the panel

Any electrical distributor can order you one from the manufacturer.
You may need extra long mounting screws to compensate for the extra
wall thickness.

So, the circuit breakers will be an inch and a half back from the panel
cover!!
