I'm actually looking to build a roadster myself. If you don't mind, could I ask how much you got in to it?" Not offensive to me.
People that ask in that way deserve a fair answer and I give them one.....it's the know-it-alls at car shows that with a 1/2 dozen buddies in tow, come by and out of the blue ask:"hey, how much did that thing cost ya???" that gripe my butt.......
To those jerks I have a number of answers I use, depending on the situation...

Don't know, it's my wife's car,she paid for it.....
Don't know, my wife bought it for me......
A lot more than you make in a year......
Why would you ask such a personal question to a total stranger???
Are I just tell them about 4 times what the actual cost was/is....

All depends on the person/situation as to how to answer that question...
